Ruka Finds The Net For Twente

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Nikita Rukavytsya opened his senior account for FC Twente, while David Carney made his starting debut as the Enschede club thumped tiny SC Joure 8-0 in the Dutch KNVB Cup.

SC Joure play in the lowly Zondang Hoofdklasse C division and were always going to be up against it when facing Twente who finished second in the Dutch Eredivisie last season.

But Twente didn't take it easy, with Rukavytsya eager to make the most of a rare chance in the starting XI, combining well with Wellington on 5 minutes only for the Australian to see his effort thwarted.

A few minutes later though South African Bernard Parker put Twente ahead before Carney set up Iraq international Nashat Akram who made it 2-0 after barely quarter of an hour.

Rukavytsya hit the post before Dario Vujicevic made it three with Parker adding a fourth before the break.

Into the second-half, the goals kept coming with Akram scoring before Rukavytsya grabbed his first in the Twente senior team after good lead-up work from Luuk de Jong.

Wellington grabbed a late double to finish off an emphatic 8-0 triumph for Steve McClaren's side with Rukavytsya and Carney both getting through the full 90 minutes.

Twente host newly promoted VVV Venlo this Saturday in the league, with the Aussie pair doing their hopes of a run no harm on Wednesday.
