Match Recap

Dani De Wit broke Excelsior hearts in the second minute of stoppage time, heading Utrecht to a 2-1 Eredivisie victory that few saw coming. The visitors had taken the lead through Artem Stepanov on 36 minutes, only for Aymen Sliti to level for the hosts in the 77th, and Rotterdam's Woudestein looked set for a share of the spoils. Then De Wit arrived. Utrecht came into the match sitting 14th in the Eredivisie table with just five points from five games, well adrift of Excelsior's six-point advantage and superior rank, making the three points all the more significant for a side badly in need of a win. It also snapped a losing run in this fixture: Excelsior had won the only previous meeting between these two sides. A comeback for the ages, a villain-turned-hero scoreline flipped in stoppage time — find out what De Wit's 90+2 winner actually looked like in the highlights.
