Linssen was involved in two goals and particularly enjoyed his impressive header just before halftime. The NEC attacker reflected on the match, stating that the team struggled to play their own game in the first half but turned it around in the second. "We sank to a low block and it didn't fit our NEC style," he said.
The team's tactical adjustment ultimately paid off, with Linssen scoring the equaliser and giving the team confidence. He also praised the NEC supporters who travelled to the match, saying "I have a lot of respect for them, they were here despite being advised not to."
