Twente vs Utrecht
Utrecht snatches victory at Twente
Ángel Alarcón's brace turns the tide after Twente's early lead.

Weidmann's 28th-minute strike, but Utrecht's Ángel Alarcón stole the show with goals just after the break and midway through the second half to secure a 2-1 win. This result defied Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Twente home victory, proving the match was far less straightforward than anticipated.
