Vitesse vs Roda

Roda started the brighter of the two sides. Connor van den Berg was called into early action for Vitesse, making a sharp save to keep the score level. The visitors' pressure paid off when Larson Ferati opened the scoring in the 15th minute, finding the net to give Roda a 1-0 lead.

Vitesse grew into the contest as the first half progressed. They found an equaliser just before the break through trialist Sebastian Müller, whose shot took a deflection on its way in to beat the Roda goalkeeper. The score remained 1-1 at half-time and through the second period.

Müller's equaliser on the stroke of half-time — officially timed at 45 minutes — shifted the momentum. Roda had been the sharper side in the opening quarter-hour, but Vitesse finished the half strongly and neither team could find a winner after the restart.

• Sebastian Müller (trialist) — Scored Vitesse's goal with a deflected strike. The 22-year-old is on trial at the club and this was his first appearance in a Vitesse shirt.
• Connor van den Berg — Made an early save to keep Vitesse in the game when Roda were dominant.
• Larson Ferati (Roda) — Scored the opening goal in the 15th minute with a composed finish.

This was Vitesse's second pre-season friendly of the 2026/27 preparations. The draw gives head coach John van den Brom useful data on his squad depth and a chance to assess trialists like Müller in competitive action. Roda JC, preparing for the Keuken Kampioen Divisie season, will take positives from their first-half performance.

A standard pre-season workout with few conclusions to draw. Vitesse's second-half display suggested they will grow into pre-season, while Müller's goal gives the coaching staff something to consider. Roda will be encouraged by their early dominance but will want more cutting edge in the final third.
