Prize packer Hovocubo takes Supercup by winning against futsal rival FC Eindhoven

Hovocubo’s futsal players started the new season as they ended the previous one. To win. In the battle for the Supercup, the team of trainer Sander van Dijk beat FC Eindhoven 2-1.

That happened in De Opgang’s own sports hall, where a number of basic forces who have left the national champion were said goodbye. Van Dijk can no longer call on strong holders Karim Mossaoui, Soufian Charraoui and Yoshua St. Juste this season. That is why the experienced Van Dijk also tempered the expectations of his team earlier this week.

FC Eindhoven, which lost to Hovocubo in both the cup final and the final for the national title last season, started the match badly. Top score Saïd Bouzambou was suspended and Oualid Saadouni, Ayoub Boukhari, Zakaria Amrani and Marwan Rebbah were also missing due to injuries.

The home team took the initiative and FC Eindhoven collapsed. Against the odds, the guests took the lead. Dennis van den Eijnden made the 0-1, but a minute later it was already equal. Ilias Bouzit blasted the 1-1 against the ropes. Oualid Tarifit gave Hovocubo the lead shortly after the break. In the latter part of the match, Hovocubo had to fall back, but the score did not change.

It is after 2014, 2018 and 2019 that Hovocubo has won the Supercup for the fourth time. Next Friday, Hovocubo will open the competition with the away match against ZVV Eindhoven.
