De Graafschap played hard at home against TOP Oss on Friday evening. The Brabanders won 4-0 on their own De Vijverberg. The match was already decided in the first half thanks to three goals from Ralf Seuntjens and a goal from Ibrahim El Kadiri. Thanks to this victory, De Graafschap climbs to second place in the rankings.
Hat-trick hero Ralf Seuntjens
The Superboeren took off in front of more than ten thousand spectators on their own De Vijverberg. Already in the first minute a great heading opportunity presented itself for Ralf Seuntjens after a good capture of the ball from Ibrahim El Kadiri. Unfortunately, he was unable to capitalize on this opportunity. Ultimately he would become the big man of the first half. De Graafschap played an excellent first half in which they created many chances and were clearly looking for the opening goal. However, it allowed opponent TOP Oss to become dangerous a number of times through the transition.
The real spectacle took about 35 minutes. The wing defender Levi Schoppema who came along was knocked down in the Brabant sixteen-meter area and referee Richard Martens pointed to the spot. Striker Ralf Seuntjens stood behind the ball and shot in via the inside of the post: 1-0. TOP Oss easily gave away opportunities and De Graafschap were more than happy to take advantage of them. The Super Farmers were now really loose. Just three minutes after the opening goal, other full-back Jeffry Fortes passed the ball perfectly. Ralf Seuntjens clinically scored his second of the evening: 2-0.
Despite the comfortable lead, De Graafschap continued to press, looking for the final blow. Again just three minutes later, Donny Warmerdam played teammate Ibrahim El Kadiri in the enemy penalty area. The latter found the far corner with a dry slide: 3-0. It didn’t stop there in the first half. Fortes once again came up on the right side of the field and entered into a duel with his direct opponent. He couldn’t stop him without committing a foul. Once again De Graafschap received a penalty, and again it was Seuntjens who stood behind the ball. He scored in the same corner and completed his hat trick. Within ten minutes, De Graafschap has made mincemeat of opponent TOP Oss. Halftime score: 4-0.
Decision already in the first half
In view of the busy program of the last weeks of this calendar year, trainer Jan Vreman made a change early in the match. Mimoun Mahi came on for Tristan van Gilst immediately after halftime and Youssef El Jebli, Philip Brittijn, Anis Yadir and Lion Kaak also got playing time in the second half.
It won’t surprise anyone, but it didn’t become very exciting in the second half. De Graafschap still created some chances and gave very little away at the back. There were no more goals despite the attacking intentions of the fresh substitutes. The final score has already been determined before half time. With this 4-0 victory, De Graafschap climbs to second place in the rankings. FC Volendam follows closely with the same number of points and a slightly lower goal difference.
The first match is only three days away. The Superboeren will be hunting for three points in Emmen on Monday, November 25.
Final score: 4-0
