Decisive figure carries FC Twente past Telstar | OneFootball

Sondre Ørjasæter settled the game in the 65th minute with a left-footed finish, as FC Twente beat Telstar 1-0.

Ørjasæter timed his run to the back post and met Younes Taha's cross, lifting his effort into the roof of the net (65.). The contact was clean and the movement unchecked.

He remained a constant outlet between the lines, occupying central pockets and dragging centre-backs around before being withdrawn to protect the lead (79.).

The Norwegian midfielder finished with five attempts, three on target, plus seven touches in the box and 16 successful final third passes, underlining how he kept Twente advancing in dangerous areas.

Because Telstar's wing-backs were pinned deep, Ørjasæter could arrive late in the area and attack the cut-back zone, a pattern that repeatedly stressed the visitors and ultimately produced the decisive moment.

Twente climb from ninth to fifth in the Eredivisie. They host ADO Den Haag next. Telstar visit Heerenveen.
