“I remember that there was no tension at all,” 59-year-old Van Duijvenbode remembers about the match against Roda JC. “We had nothing to lose.” Telstar successively eliminated Elinkwijk, RKC Waalwijk, FC Eindhoven and HFC Haarlem in the run-up to the semi-finals.
Van der Zwaan had a negative leading role in the semi-final by receiving his second yellow card in the 60th minute. “Seriously, this isn’t a red card, is it?! Nice images of me…”, Van der Zwaan responds. After the red card, Roda JC ran out to 3-0 and Telstar’s cup dream shattered.
The semi-final between AZ and Telstar can be followed live on Wednesday evening from 7 p.m. in a special radio broadcast by NH Sport. The ball starts rolling at 8 p.m. and you don’t have to miss any of the developments.
