From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Dave Van Den Bergh struck a 66th-minute winner as Utrecht lifted the Amstel Cup for the third time with a 1-0 win over Twente yesterday.

Van den Bergh's shot from five yards outside the penalty box sailed past Twente's goalkeeper, Cees Paauwe, into the top right corner.

The goal was controversial as Twente's defence clearly had been caught off guard. Play had just resumed after an injury when Utrecht took a throw-in that Twente had thought was their's.

The mood then soured and Twente defender Jeroen Heubach was sent off 10 minutes later for striking Utrecht's Jordy Zuidam in the back of the head. "It was a terrible game, but a great goal," Van den Bergh said.
