BREDA, May 3 (SW) - FC Twente are through to the final of the Dutch play-offs after a simple 8-1 aggregate victory over NAC Breda.

After the 3-0 home win earlier this week, Twente were practically certain of advancing already.

After a goalless first half, the second half showed much more activity. Huysegems (2), N'Kufo, Hersi and Braafheid scored for the visitors, and the only home goal came from Fehér.

Viktor Sikora of NAC collected a direct red card in the 57th minute.

To decide which team advances to the third preliminary round of the Champions League, FC Twente will play either Ajax or SC Heerenveen in the play-offs final.

The match was momentarily suspended after insults by the home fans, directed at referee Roelof Luinge.

I hope Ajax, underachievers in Europe for so long, are able to beat Heerenveen in the play-off.
