MVV achieved a clear victory once morest Helmond Sport on Friday evening. The Sterrendragers hardly encountered any problems once morest the Brabanders: 3-0.
The Geusselt was well filled with more than 6,500 spectators. The result of the club’s passe-partouts action that should lead to the provisional rescue of the Sterrendragers.
The Basri
Those visitors were allowed to bounce from their seats following six minutes when El Basri drove the ball into the net from a rebound. However, director Bryan Smeets’ replacement did so in an offside position. So no goal. After 22 minutes the midfielder was close once more. But his header once morest the crossbar was also offside.
1-0
A minute later a regulation goal. After a stylish action by Livramento, the ball remained stationary for Tunahan Tasci, who coolly pushed the ball into the goal: 1-0.
Rescues Matthys
Helmond Sport played very little together in the first half. A Marin shot rolled into the hands of Romain Matthys, who was allowed to record his 100th MVV match and was honored in advance. The same keeper had to take action following 35 minutes on a high ball. He processed the ball in the direction of Ludwig, who aimed it full in the face of MVV defender Aktas. The halftime score was 1-0, because Ferre Slegers also worked a free shooting opportunity high over the goal.
Great opportunities
After the break, MVV created several opportunities for the second goal. Remans (shot wide) and Souren (volley just wide) came very close within a minute. Striker Livramento also showed up with a shot once morest the crossbar. Slegers’ rebound was cleverly saved with his foot by goalkeeper Van der Steen.
2-0
The loss almost cost MVV dearly. After 69 minutes, Marin was overlooked ten meters from goal; he aimed just over the intersection. A minute later it happened. To Maastricht’s advantage, that is. Livramento passed his direct opponent at speed and finished calmly: 2-0. Ten minutes later, Remans went one better by converting a self-inflicted penalty: 3-0.
Ninth
This victory puts MVV in ninth place, at least for a few days. A place that entitles you to the play-offs if the team is still there in a month and a half.
