Lukkien praised his team's performance and explained why he considered it a 'top match'. "It's about entertaining the crowd. Two teams that go all out. I think a top match is also about two teams that want to win. Then you see it's entertaining. Then there are spaces on both sides. Teams that play with courage and try to win from that courage. That's what I like."
The draw leaves FC Groningen in ninth place in the Eredivisie with seven points after five matches. FC Twente also has seven points, but is seventh due to a better goal difference. The Tukkers have played one match fewer.
