Telstar vs Utrecht
Telstar's early blitz secures solid win
A flurry of first-half goals set the tone as Telstar outpaced Utrecht 4-2.
Telstar took control early with T. Owusu and A. Soualhia scoring before Utrecht's Ángel Alarcón pulled one back just before half-time. N. Þórisson restored Telstar's lead before Utrecht's Y. Cathline responded immediately after the break, but A. Martha's goal sealed the deal for Telstar. Fipster's medium-confidence prediction of a home win was spot on, though the actual scoreline was more emphatic than expected.
