Fortuna Sittard wins home match against SC Cambuur thanks to Branderhorst

Fortuna Sittard has given a good follow-up to the impressive result against PSV last week by winning at home against SC Cambuur. The visitors recovered in Limburg from a poor start, but ultimately came short.

Why was this so important for Fortuna Sittard?

This win is a good start for Fortuna Sittard in the new season. The team of trainer Danny Buijs now has four points from two matches and can place itself on the 10th place in the Eredivisie.

What happened during the match?

Fortuna Sittard started great at their first home match in the new season. Already in the sixth minute it was 1-0 for the team of trainer Danny Buijs. From a corner by Mohamed Ihattaren, Philip Brittijn headed the ball into the goal: 1-0. Again it was for Fortuna a success from a corner.

What happened in the second half?

In the fifteenth minute, Lequincio Zeefuik doubled the lead from a counter-attack. The young striker received the ball from Jasper Dahlhaus and accelerated at exactly the right moment. With a chip into the far corner, the AZ loanee helped himself to his first goal in the Fortuna shirt: 2-0.

What happened in the last minutes of the match?

Rafik El Arguioui brought back the tension after about twenty minutes with a beautiful pingel goal. The 21-year-old Moroccan remained very calm in the penalty area of Fortuna and hit Mattijs Branderhorst after delaying his shot: 2-1. Branderhorst kept Fortuna in the second half on several occasions. So he saved great on a shot from close range by Ismael Baouf. Before the break, Branderhorst had already made a stylish save on a header by Sami Bouhoudane.

What happens now?

With four points from two matches, Fortuna has started the new season well. That can not be said of Cambuur, which will receive Feyenoord in the third match. Fortuna will play next week at home against AZ.
