FC Twente defeats PEC Zwolle amid supporter tension

FC Twente secured their first victory of the Eredivisie season with a 3-1 win over PEC Zwolle at De Grolsch Veste. Despite falling behind early due to an Elias Sørensen goal, Twente rallied with goals from a Daouda Weidmann own goal and striker Daan Rots.

The victory was overshadowed by significant tension between the players and the supporters. Forward Daan Rots criticized the negative atmosphere and the booing of teammate Thomas van den Belt, stating that such unrest harms the team's performance.

Supporters also directed banners toward technical director Erik ten Hag, referencing his previous criticisms of Dutch football. Manager John van den Brom addressed the squad's hierarchy and the pressure of maintaining a rhythm for upcoming Conference League play-offs, while dismissing external criticisms of the club's management.
