Maurice Steijn s Tactical Misstep Costs Sparta in Cup MatchMaurice Steijn s Tactical Misstep Costs Sparta in Cup Match

Maurice Steijn enjoyed immense popularity at Sparta, but he did himself a significant disservice on Thursday evening by fielding a considerably weakened squad against FC Volendam.

Sparta was eliminated from the cup competition after Steijn opted for a backup goalkeeper, Filip Bednarek, replacing the regular starter, Joël Drommel. Key players such as Marvin Young and Joshua Kitolano started the match on the bench, while Tobias Lauritsen, Shunsuke Mito, and Shurandy Sambo were substituted after an hour of play, with the score level at 1-1.

This decision has sparked a variety of reactions from fans and analysts alike.
