As a neutral observer of both games (they were played at my neighbour´s house) have to repport that both games were much of the same. Both games finished with a 65% ball possession for Excelsior which showed much more control of the games skills, especially a great ability to combine nice pieces of play and moves where the last pass was generally failed. Hwever, soccer it´s not just about passing the ball but striking and scoring golas and at ths point both teams proved themselves much more proficient.
NAC Breda came back a 1-0 in the last two minutes of the first half, from that point it commited itself to defense and aggresivity, and they were successful (may be much at the last point 6 yellow cards and 3 red cards).
NEC Nijmegen played much of a fairer game, but also couldn´t have the ball. Dannebom was a nitemare for the slow Excesior defenders. Excelsior deseved in my opinion two wins in two games. But they are 0-2-0at this point, and this is soccer.
Good game all from friend!
