Excelsior beat MVV 3-0 to reach KNVB Beker last 32
Excelsior won 3-0 away to MVV at De Geusselt in the Round of 64 of the KNVB Beker, with Irakli Yegoian scoring twice. The visitors took the lead in the 15th minute when Yegoian finished from a Stijn van Gassel assist, and they held that advantage through to the interval.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Yegoian doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 60th minute, putting the tie largely out of MVV's reach. The home side, who had lost 3-1 away to De Treffers in their previous game, found no way back, and Aymen Sliti added a third in the 89th minute to complete the scoring.
MVV had more of the ball, with 60 per cent possession to Excelsior's 40, and led on shots by 16 to 8 and on corners by 6 to 1. Yet Excelsior put five of their eight shots on target against six from 16 for the hosts. The only booking of the night went to a home player. The win ended a run of six games without a victory for Excelsior, who play Twente at home in the Eredivisie on Sunday.
Yegoian scored twice, a first-half opener and a second-half penalty, and earned the top rating of 8.5. Van Gassel, who set up the first goal, was rated 8.0.
MVV had 16 shots to Excelsior's 8 but still lost by three goals.
Excelsior won 3–0 away against MVV (half-time 0–1).
