Twente's last‑gasp comeback falls short as Ferencváros advances

In the Europa League tie on Thursday evening, FC Twente saw their hopes evaporate when a 2‑2 draw against Ferencváros proved insufficient to overturn a 1‑2 first‑leg defeat, leaving the Dutch side eliminated and consigning them to the Conference League, despite a late rally by John van den Brom’s squad.

FC Twente have been knocked out of the Europa League. Their exit follows a two‑leg tie against Hungarian side Ferencváros.

The Dutch side entered the second leg trailing 1‑2 after the first match. Overturning that deficit required a win in the return fixture.

In the Thursday evening encounter, John van den Brom’s team clawed back from a 0‑2 deficit. The equaliser came just before full‑time, leaving the score at 2‑2.

The 2‑2 draw was not enough to erase the earlier 1‑2 loss. Consequently, Ferencváros progressed on aggregate and FC Twente’s Europa League campaign ended.
