Issah Abass inspired Utrecht to a 2-1 win over FC Eindhoven in Tuesday’s Dutch Cup Round of 16 clash.

In the keenly contested encounter inside Jan Louwers Stadium, Eindhoven took a 37th minute lead through Samy Bourard to take a slim lead into the half-time break.

However, Abass ignited his side’s comeback with his 61st minute goal to send the game into extra-time.

With eight minutes left before the end of second extra-time, substitute Jean-Christophe Bahebeck had the final say with the winning strike.

Thanks to this result, John van den Brom’s men are through to the quarter-final of the tournament – there, they face either IJsselmeervogels or Go Ahead Eagles.
