FC Twente Enschede earned a narrow 1-0 pre-season victory over Eredivisie rivals RKC Waalwijk in an International Club Friendly on July 31, 2025. The solitary goal, scored early in the second half, was enough to separate the two top-flight Dutch sides in a competitive tune-up match. The match was characterized by high intensity but few clear chances, with both teams testing their match fitness and tactical structures. The decisive moment came from a moment of individual quality, as a Twente attacker cut inside from the left and fired a low shot into the far corner. RKC Waalwijk pressed for an equalizer in the final stages but found the Twente defense well-organized. The friendly result gives FC Twente positive momentum heading into the new season, while RKC will look to sharpen their attacking play before the competitive action begins.
