In a commanding display of skill and teamwork, Twente W overwhelmed ADO Den Haag W with a decisive 5-0 victory at the WerkTalent Stadion on November 2, 2025. This match marked another chapter in the ongoing struggles for ADO Den Haag, who remain anchored at the bottom of the Eredivisie table, while Twente solidified their position as one of the league's top contenders.
From the outset, it was clear that Twente came into this match with purpose. With four wins already under their belt this season, they were eager to maintain momentum after a few disappointing draws in recent weeks. The visitors wasted no time asserting their dominance, showcasing an attacking prowess that left ADO Den Haag scrambling to keep up.
The first goal came early in the match when Fenna Kalma, who has been a standout performer for Twente this season, found the back of the net. Her ability to exploit defensive gaps proved crucial as she opened the scoring just ten minutes into play. This goal set the tone for what would be a challenging afternoon for ADO Den Haag.
As if stung by Kalma's strike, ADO struggled to find any rhythm throughout the first half. Their defense appeared disorganized and unable to cope with Twente's relentless pressure. The second goal arrived shortly before halftime when Jill Roord added her name to the scoresheet, doubling Twente's lead and leaving ADO facing an uphill battle as they headed into the break.
Despite some spirited efforts from players like Nienke Kranenburg, who has been a beacon of hope for ADO amid their struggles, there was little respite for the home side. Kranenburg's attempts to rally her teammates fell flat against a well-drilled Twente squad that seemed determined not to let up.
The second half unfolded much like the first, with Twente continuing to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities. They struck again in quick succession; goals from Tessa Wullaert and another from Kalma put them firmly ahead at 4-0 within just fifteen minutes of play after halftime. Each goal highlighted not only individual brilliance but also excellent teamwork that has become synonymous with Twente's style this season.
As if things could not get worse for ADO Den Haag, they conceded yet another goal late in the match when Sophie van der Most capped off an impressive performance by finding her way onto the scoresheet. The final whistle blew with a resounding scoreline of 5-0-a stark reminder of ADO's current plight as they sit at just one point from five matches played.
This result leaves Twente W firmly positioned in second place on 13 points, trailing only behind other title contenders while maintaining an unbeaten streak in league play thus far. For ADO Den Haag W, however, this defeat deepens their woes as they remain stuck at 11th place with only one point-a situation that will require urgent attention if they hope to turn their season around.
Looking ahead, both teams face contrasting challenges. ADO will need to regroup quickly before their next encounter against Telstar W on November 16-an opportunity that may prove pivotal in their quest for redemption. Meanwhile, Twente will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for a clash against Feyenoord W on November 8-one that could further establish them as serious title challengers.
Reflecting on my earlier predictions about how tightly contested this match might be-well, let's just say I missed that mark entirely! It turns out I underestimated Twente's capacity to dominate and overestimated ADO's chances of pulling off an upset given their recent form. As always in sports, surprises abound and lessons are learned; today was no exception as we witnessed a powerful statement from Twente amidst ongoing struggles for ADO Den Haag.
