One of the most memorable moments of the season occurred during the quarterfinals against AZ. Giovanni Bakhuijsen, known as Giobundyy, initially found himself trailing 2-0. With some tactical adjustments, Gio turned the match around and ultimately won 3-2, showcasing his mental strength.
In the semifinals against PSV, the team faced a tough challenge.
