FC Utrecht and Heerenveen shared the spoils (2-2) on Sunday afternoon at the Galgenwaard Stadium, in Matchday 7 of the Eredivisie.
Souffian El Karouani shone once again. The Moroccan international opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a precise low shot past Bernt Klaverboer, netting his first league goal of the season. Already impressive since the start of the campaign, the left-back continues to prove his importance in Ron Jans’ system.
Before this match, El Karouani had already provided 4 assists in the Eredivisie. His impact goes beyond the league: in the 2025/26 Europa League qualifiers, he also scored 1 goal and delivered 4 assists, playing a key role in FC Utrecht’s European campaign.
Despite the Moroccan’s opener, Heerenveen responded through a brace from Dylan Vente (45th, 67th). In the dying moments, David Min salvaged a point for the hosts (2-2).
Beyond the result, Utrecht can take pride in the sparkling form of El Karouani, increasingly decisive and now indispensable down the left flank.
