The 24-year-old Bensabouh was important with David Min’s opening goal in the 53rd minute. “We keep telling each other that we have to be smarter and take a free kick a bit faster, for example. Now I did that once and via Tom Overoom, who was well between the lines, the ball eventually reached Giousis. He gave it back good for Min”, said Bensabouh about the important 1-0.
“It was like there was an extra incentive”
“Everyone was so sharp today. Our energy was great. As if there was an extra stimulus,” says Bensabouh about the intensity at Telstar. “We’ve been hammering all week that we have to win this game. The energy, which was less in previous games, was there today.”
