Three international matches for Germany. More than 500 professional matches, including part for large clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV. Holtby has experienced more than an evening of NAC Breda, but still Sunday evening it was love at first sight between the 34-year-old midfielder and the audience in the Rat Verlegh Stadium.
Goal and Assist Lewis Holtby
Halfway through the first half Holtby the man was in the right place at the right time after Sydney van Hooijdonk won a duel in the Fortuna-Zestien. The German was like the chickens to round. In the second half he was also a declarant at the 2-0, although you should not exaggerate his share in it. Because it was Juho Talvition that stole the show. With a beautifully placed shot that invaded the bottom of the bar, he left goalkeeper Mattijs Branderhorst without a chance. A few minutes later Holtby got a beautiful public change.
The victory of NAC Breda was justified, because the team from Noord-Brabant could have scored much more often. Van Hooijdonk in particular should have put an end to his goal dryness. Fortuna did not give much in front of a bustling Kristoffer Peterson outside. In the second half, Mohamed Ihattaren made his debut for Fortuna. Fifteen minutes before time, he delivered a perfect corner, which was well headed in by Philip Brittijn. But after that it was too poor from Limburg’s side to really claim a point.
