Match in Five Sentences: Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam drew 2-2 in the Eredivisie in Sittard. In the 44th minute, Lance Duijvestijn swept in from Ivo Pinto's cut-back to give Fortuna the lead. After the restart, Tobias Lauritsen levelled (62.), then Yassin Oukili seemed to nick it (90.) before Casper Terho equalised in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time. Sparta Rotterdam delivered 13 corners, the pressure finally telling from a late set piece. Fortuna rise from 12th to ninth and visit Ajax next, while Sparta remain fifth and host NEC Nijmegen.
Player of the Match: Shunsuke Mito supplied the stoppage time cross for the equaliser and led Sparta's creativity with three key passes.
Stat of the Match: Fortuna Sittard made 43 clearances, a snapshot of the defensive workload against sustained pressure.
Three Things We Learned: Ivo Pinto's delivery remains a weapon, assisting the opener before he was forced off injured in the second half. Teo Quintero offered an unusual threat from defence with six attempts on goal. Yassin Oukili's cameo counted, scoring with his only shot and adding four successful final third passes.
