VV Chevremont hosted Roda JC in a pre-season International Club Friendly on 1 July 2026, and what was expected to be a gentle workout turned into a one-sided demolition. Roda JC, the Dutch second‑tier side, ran riot with a stunning 10‑0 victory, leaving the host side from the lower reaches of Dutch amateur football with a night to forget.
Match Overview
The fixture, played under the floodlights on a midsummer evening, saw Roda JC field a strong starting eleven. From the opening whistle, the visitors dominated possession and pressed relentlessly. VV Chevremont, a club from the village of Haanrade in Limburg, simply could not cope with the speed and precision of the professional side.
Key Moments and Goals
First Half Onslaught
Roda JC opened the scoring inside the first five minutes, with striker Thijmen Goppel finishing a slick move down the right. By the half‑hour mark, the scoreboard read 6‑0. Midfielder Lennart Thy scored twice, while Arjen van der Heide and Niek Vossebelt each added one. The Chevremont defence, overworked and outclassed, struggled even to clear the ball from their own half.
Second Half Blitz
The second half offered no respite. Roda JC coach Bas Sibum made several changes but the tempo remained overwhelming. Four more goals followed, including a hat‑trick for substitute Dylan Vente after he came on in the 60th minute. The final goal, a curling shot from outside the box by left‑back Mitchell van Bergen, completed the double‑digit scoreline.
Standout Performers
- Dylan Vente – A perfect hat‑trick (left foot, right foot, header) in just 30 minutes.
- Lennart Thy – Two goals and two assists, a masterclass in attacking midfield.
- VV Chevremont goalkeeper – Despite conceding ten, made several fine saves; the score could have been higher.
Context and Implications
For VV Chevremont, the match served as a brutal reality check ahead of their upcoming amateur league campaign. The heavy defeat, however, provides clear areas for defensive improvement. Roda JC, meanwhile, will take huge confidence from this performance as they prepare for the 2026‑27 Keuken Kampioen Divisie season. The 10‑0 victory is a statement of intent, though friendly results must be weighed against the level of opposition.
The fixture also highlights the gap between professional and amateur football in the Netherlands. While such mismatches are common in pre‑season, the ruthlessness shown by Roda JC underlines the depth of talent in their squad.
