In the first round of the Dutch Cup that ended early this morning, Nijmegen defeated the amateur team Rijsburg Boys 3-2 in an away game and advanced to the next round.

Former Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen, who played for Barcelona, ​​returned to the starting lineup and played the entire game. Cillessen played for Las Palmas last season. In a match against Celta Vigo in April this year, he collided with Iglesias during an attack, causing a perforated intestine. He underwent surgery and was missed for the rest of the season. He returned to Nijmegen without a visa in August this year, and this game was his first game back.

According to the Dutch media "AD", Cillessen performed well in this game and contributed as many as 8 saves. When asked about the team's prospects in an interview after the game, Cillessen said: "Through today's game, I have proven that I still have the strength to guard the goal for the team. I am older now and I am more patient than before waiting for opportunities to come."
