SC Cambuur continued the good competition start against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday afternoon. The team of coach Henk de Jong was 0-4 too strong at Het Kastel due to goals from Alex Bangura, Issa Kallon (2) and Tom Boere. Sparta ended the game with ten men after a red card for Aaron Meijers. Cambuur is experiencing the best start of the season ever at the highest level thanks to the victory. Never before have the Leeuwarders succeeded in winning four of the first seven games at the highest level. Thanks to the victory, Cambuur also rises to sixth place in the ranking.
It was more than twenty years ago that Cambuur and Sparta last met in the Eredivisie. Cambuur was also too strong at Het Kasteel in 2000: 1-2. This time it was nothing to write home about what both teams showed in the first company. “Many mistakes are made. Sometimes four times the ball is lost within four seconds,” analyst Gert-Jan Verbeek described the extremely messy first half. ESPN. And yet it was Cambuur that totally unexpectedly grabbed the lead via Bangura. The left back came along, got the ball from Kallon and finished with the left: 0-1. Just before that, Emanuel Emegha had missed a chance for the 1-0.
In the second company there was significantly more to enjoy and Cambuur was the best at taking advantage of the opportunities. With the second good opportunity of the game, it was immediately hit for the visitors. Marco Tol’s deep pass was just right for Kallon, who had a free passage towards Maduka Okoye and found the right corner: 0-2. Sparta then got an excellent opportunity through Emegha to reduce the tension, but again the attacker was inaccurate in the completion. This time, his effort through the inside of the post ended in the hands of goalkeeper Sonny Stevens.
Cambuur played completely to the possibilities and tried to get out of it quickly in the switch via Kallon. That recipe led to the 0-3 ten minutes after the 0-2. This time the preparatory work was done by Michael Breij, after which Kallon was again able to approach goalkeeper Okoye alone. Once again the swift attacker kept his cool and found the right corner: 0-3. After Aaron Meijers received a red card for a pedaling movement, Boere took care of the final chord. The striker received the ball on the right side of the sixteen and found the left corner: 0-4. As a result, Sparta is stuck at only one win this season.
