FC Twente Overwhelms Excelsior with Record 9-0 Victory
In an astonishing display on Sunday afternoon, FC Twente delivered a stunning 9-0 defeat to Excelsior, solidifying their position in the Eredivisie league and setting multiple records in the process. The match showcased the prowess of Wout Weghorst, who scored four goals, forcing Excelsior to contend with a harsh reality as their promising start to the season quickly faded.
This remarkable victory marks the largest league win for Twente, while it represents the most significant defeat that Excelsior has ever faced in league play. Weghorst’s remarkable feat was complemented by winger Sondre Ørjasæter, who not only assisted five goals within a mere 49 minutes but also established a record for the most assists in a single game this century. Following this match, Weghorst totals 11 goals in 18 matches since his summer transfer from Ajax to Twente, while Ørjasæter boasts 11 assists in just 17 contests this season. Having joined from Sarpsbourg in 2025, the Norwegian winger is poised to surpass his previous season’s totals of five goals and eight assists in 34 games.
As Excelsior seeks to recover quickly, they will face Go Ahead Eagles in their next fixture. Meanwhile, FC Twente heads into their upcoming Europa Conference League matchup against Pafos radiating confidence after such a dominating performance.
