20 October 2013 - GelreDome, Arnhem
The journey to Vitesse represented a different kind of challenge for Utrecht, one that would test their character and resilience in ways that comfortable home victories could not. The GelreDome was a fortress for the home team, its artificial pitch and hostile atmosphere creating conditions that had troubled many visiting sides throughout the season.
For Amani, the match carried personal significance beyond the tactical challenges. Vitesse had been one of the clubs that had shown interest in him during his youth career, and their scouts had been regular visitors to Utrecht's matches throughout the season. The system had been analyzing their approach, identifying the specific tactics they would likely employ to neutralize his influence.
