Decisive figure rescues Sparta Rotterdam with stoppage-time leveller

Casper Terho equalised in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time to earn Sparta Rotterdam a 2-2 draw at Fortuna Sittard.

Introduced from the bench, Terho immediately stretched the right flank, repeatedly attacking the space outside the full-back and forcing Fortuna's line to drop.

Deep into second half stoppage time, he ghosted to the back post to turn in Shunsuke Mito's cross, a poacher's finish that capped his impact.

Terho finished with one goal from one attempt, five crosses, two possessions won, one tackle won and four accurate passes in 12 minutes, a burst of productivity that matched Sparta Rotterdam's crossing-heavy approach of 44 deliveries.

The Finn's width and timing gave Sparta a late edge in transition, ensuring the visitors left with something to show for their pressure.
