Telstar lost 2-0 at home to Almere City and was eliminated from the KNVB Cup. The team created few chances in a largely closed match and conceded twice on the counterattack in the second half.

After the match, supporters directed chants at coach Henk Bruges, including calls for him to leave. Bruges said he understood the supporters’ emotions after Telstar had gone 10 matches without a win, while accepting responsibility for the team’s performances. Player Marvin Peersman said there were many areas for improvement but rejected portraying the team as victims.

Feyenoord lost 1-0 away to Real Betis in the Champions League in Seville. After a scoreless first half, Isco converted a penalty after Jeremiah St. Juste was adjudged to have handled the ball. Feyenoord pressed for an equaliser but did not score; goalkeeper Tjark Ernst had made several saves earlier in the match. The result was Feyenoord’s second defeat in three Champions League matches, leaving the team on three points. Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said Feyenoord deserved at least a draw. After the match, Sem Steijn and Anis Hadj Moussa argued, and Van Bronckhorst later said he had spoken with both players and resolved the matter.
