Derby of the east

Sunday saw the Derby van het Oosten (Derby of the East) between Go Ahead Eagles and FC Twente Enschede in Holland.

There is certainly no love lost between the two clubs and the match at De Adelaarshorst was stopped twice, the second time for half an hour due to fireworks and seats thrown from the away section.

A tifo from the ADHD Deventer on the B-Side greeted the teams and it was the home team who stepped up to the mark on derby day with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Philippe Rommens and Isac Lidberg.

Go Ahead claimed the bragging rights over 90 minutes but this is a rivalry that will go on for a long time.
