FC Utrecht is back in Europa League after 15 years, but loses top scorer Jensen

FC Utrecht

FC Utrecht Has Reached the Main Tournament of the Europa League on Thursday. The team only needed a goalless draw Against Bosnian Zrinjski Mostar. A Damper On The Celebrations was the Injury of Club Top Scorer Victor Jensen.

FC Utrecht won the First Leg on a Soggy Field in Mostar Last Week with 0-2. Thus, the team started the return with a comfortable lead. In IT, FC Utrecht Did Not Score, But also Did Not Get Into Trouble.

Coach Ron Jans’ Team, WHO Previously Eliminated FC Sheriff and Servette FC, Qualified for the Main Tournament of the Europa League. The Last Time FC Utrecht Played in The Second Club Tournament of Europe was a season in the 2010/2011. The club then finished last in a Group with Liverpool, Napoli and Steaua Bucharest.

The Question is Whether Jensen Will Be Fit in Time for the Start of the Europa League. The Dane, who is the big man at FC Utrecht this season with Eight goals in all competitions, grabbed his hamstring after just under half an hour and had to leave the field on a stretcher.

The Setback is Regrettable for Jensen, who was called up earlier this week for the national team of Denmark. Due to the Injury, International Football Seems to Be Passing Him by For The Time Being.

Jensen’s incident was practicalally the only moment to talk about after a chanancless and somewhat dull first half in the Galgenwaard stadium. That was (again) filled to the brim with more than 21,000 supporters.

FC Utrecht Only Got One Serious Opportunity. Adrian Blake was able to shoot from about eleven meters after a pass from Jensen, but he shot straight at goalkeeper Goran Karacic.

After the break, Striker David Min, who is Keeping the not full -full fit sébastien haller on the bench for the time being, got a huge chance. But the Zaandammer Worked the Ball Next to the Bosnian keeper in a One-on-One.

Min did not score any plus points with jans, because shortly afterwards he had to go to the side for haller. The Frenchman Hardly Got Into the Game, also because it is only sporadically managed to reach the enemy penalty area.

And when Haller Did Appear in a Promising Position in Front of the Goal, he was just not reached by Souffian El Karouani. This Meant No Assist for the Left Back, Who May Still Be Making a Transfer In The Last Days Of The Transfer Period.

The match ended in A Bloodsless 0-0, But FC Utrecht Will not Mind. Jans Wanted to “Put the Crown on the Work” on Thursday and that has leg Achieved with Europa League Placement.
