ADO Den Haag and Groningen met in the play-off for the final European place for Dutch teams. ADO at home in the first leg win 5-1, game over you would think. Second leg in Groningen it's 1-1 at HT, Groningen throw caution to the wind and make it 5-1 after ADO reduced to 10 men. Extra time played - no change and ADO win 4-3 on penalties. Wow !!

Glad ADO won, as was over in Summer and the locals were friendly...Well done, I know the guys will be delighted........

Imagine celebrating a playoff win in penalties after getting humped 5-1. The Manager won't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sorry FC Groningen lost. A few of their supporters support Hibs and come over for a game every season as do some of ours go over there. Great supporters, wear the green and white and before moving to their new stadium played at Easter Park.:greengrin
