Last night's KNVB Cup results...

Helmond Sport - FC Omniworld: 2-2 (Omiworld win penalty shoot-out)
EHC - Fortuna Sittard: 0-3
Be Quick '28 - RKC Waalwijk: 1-2
HHC Hardenberg - Go Ahead Eagles: 1-1 (HHC win after penalty shoot-out)
Lisse - Achilles '94: 3-4
AZ - Heracles Almelo: 3-0
Rijnsburgse Boys - RBC Roosendaal: 2-1
Young PSV - PSV: 0-3
FC Dordrecht - BV Veendam: 3-2
IJsselmeervogels - AGOVV Apeldoorn: 1-3
Quick Boys - Willem II: 0-1
FC Den Bosch - FC Haarlem: 2-1
SC Cambuur Leeuwarden - FC Zwolle: 3-3 (Cambuur win penalty shoot-out)

So, two First Division sides eliminated by Hoofdklasse sides: Go Ahead Eagles and RBC out, HHC Hardenberg and Rijnsburgse Boys advance.

By the way: the cup game against FC Zwolle was Stanley Menzo's début as head-coach of Cambuur Leeuwarden. Must have been a pretty spectacular evening of football and also a bit of a regional grudge game.

Thomas Vermaelen was in the studio to draw the balls out of the bowl. AZ vs PSV and Volendam vs Ajax... Well done, Thomas!

Let's hope for a NAC - Volendam final.

That would be nice for our good friend Nourdin Boukhari (one goal and one assist yesterday).

Romero, the goalkeeper of AZ, has broken his hand while he was smashing his hand against the wall out of frustration. That's going to cost him some months...

[Kowalczyk]

What an idiot...

Louis van Gaal is not the type of man that will have a lot of understanding for 'accidents' like that. I think Romero will require earplugs.

Probably means that our good friend Joey Didulica will finish the season for them...
