Francesco Farioli was happy with the three points after victory against RKC (2-1). “It's a good result and important for our position in the table. We could have settled the result in the first half and in the second it didn't go as we wanted. We had to fight for the three points right until the end.”
The Italian saw a difference between the two halves. “We have to finish the game. We're working on being efficient. We're working a lot on that.”
At the break, Jorrel Hato was replaced by Owen Wijndal. “Jorrel felt something in his hamstring, but it was a precaution.” At the end, Wijndal was injured himself. “I just spoke to him. He seems okay, but we'll wait and see in the coming days.”
