Sparta Rotterdam II ran riot against Rheinsburgse Boys on Saturday, claiming a 3-6 victory in the Tweede Divisie regular season round two. The away side turned on the style from the opening whistle, and here's the thing — they never looked like stopping. Rheinsburgse Boys paid for a sloppy opening by conceding within four minutes.
J. Buitenweg opened the scoring early, and D. Hanzen doubled the lead by the twenty-seventh minute. That price has gone after Hanzen struck again just before half-time, and then T. Borrie added a third before the interval. Rheinsburgse Boys finally got on the scoreboard through Borrie in the forty-seventh minute, but the visitors went for the jugular immediately.
Borrie struck his second in the fifty-eighth minute, and K. Sallent found the net in the sixty-sixth. J. Buitenweg made it eight before the hour mark, though Rheinsburgse Boys pulled one back through N. Klaver in the eightieth minute. The match ended with a late consolation from M. Oukhattou as the clock hit ninety-plus-four.
