On Friday evening, Sparta Rotterdam faced Telstar and achieved their first victory of the new Eredivisie season. The match in Velsen-Zuid ended with a score of 1-3 in favor of Sparta.

The goals for Sparta were scored by Nökkvi Thórisson, who played a crucial role against his former club. This was also a remarkable moment, as Thórisson was on loan at Telstar last season.

Telstar had delivered a strong performance earlier this season by defeating NEC, but they were unable to maintain that momentum against Sparta. The team, led by coach Rogier Meijer, struggled to stay afloat.

With this victory, Sparta recovers after a disappointing start to the season and achieves their first away win since the end of January.
