FC Utrecht Lose to Lyon, Dutch Clubs Match Unwanted European Record
FC Utrecht fell to Olympique Lyonnais in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. A magnificent strike from Tanner Tessman gave the French side the win.
This loss means that the Dutch sides have equaled the record for the worst start in a European football season, with five games played and five losses.
- It is the second time that the Dutch sides have performed this badly in Europe.
- The record was previously set in the 2017-18 season, when Ajax, Utrecht, Feyenoord, and Vitesse picked up the losses.
FC Utrecht started the game with Sebastien Haller up front, while Ruben Kluivert, the 24-year-old son of Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert, was given a starting spot for the visitors.
The home team came close to breaking the deadlock in the fifth minute, with a corner headed on by Mike van de Hoorn to his center back partner Nick Viergever at the back post.
No comment from the teams or players was provided.
