De Tukkers frustrate Marseille in UEFA Cup

De Tukkers frustrated Marseille at home with a 1-0 victory in the UEFA Cup. Steve McClaren's side now are unbeaten in ten matches and in the drivers seat to advance with the return next week in Enschede.

After missing an early attempt, Austrian capped Marko Arnautović turned in Blaise Kufo cross at the twenty-second minute. Following that goal Twente did not threaten again and focused on ball possession with clinical defending. The closest attempt on the goal came with ten minutes remaining with Kufo's header coming off the post, however with that failing the match ended in favour of Twente 1-0.
