Telstar failed to beat eredivisionist SC Cambuur. Mike Snoei’s team lost 2-1 in Leeuwarden, partly due to two quick goals from Milan Smit.
There were three new test players at Telstar at the kick-off. Cain Seedorf (ADO Den Haag), Thomas Oude Kotte (Excelsior, among others) and Mitch Apau (FC Emmen) played their first minutes as White Lion against Cambuur. The Velsenaren had a very difficult time in the first half. A free kick by Anwar Bensabouh created the necessary danger, as did a shot by Ozan Kökcü.
Furthermore, it was mainly Cambuur that struck the clock. Roberts Uldriķis shot at the post, Telstar managed to get away. Just before half-time, the Frisians struck mercilessly with two quick goals from Milan Smit within two minutes.

Telstar immediately asserted itself after the break, because test player Byron Burgering scored the connecting goal: 2-1. In the counterpunch, a bet by David Sambissa hit the post. Hereafter, both teams tried to score more goals, but that was not the case.
Next Tuesday, Spakenburg will be Telstar’s next opponent in the preparation. The kick-off is at 20:00. Telstar previously won against Stormvogels, IJmuiden and FC Lisse. The practice matches against Willem II and Excelsior Maassluis did not yield any profit.
