As the match entered its final minutes, both teams continued to seek the breakthrough Utrecht through sustained possession and creative combination play, Vitesse through increasingly direct counter-attacks that sought to exploit potential defensive lapses.
Amani continued to showcase his exceptional vision and technical quality, creating several promising situations through passes that few players would even attempt, let alone execute.
When the referee's whistle signaled full time after three minutes of added time, the scoreboard still showed 0-0.
The result represented a credible away point for Utrecht, but also a frustrating missed opportunity; the quality of their performance deserved greater reward than the scoreboard validation provided.
