Helmond can call themselves comeback kings after the match against FC Dordrecht. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 5-2 victory. Karim Loukili scored the final goal. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Helmond, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
