RKC awaits an exciting ending after a crucial draw against PEC Zwolle

RKC took a point against PEC Zwolle in the absolute final phase on Sunday. A crucial point as RKC now remains in a safe fifteenth place. Next week it may be decided on goal difference whether the Waalwijk club remains in the Eredivisie. RKC will then visit PSV. Co-relegation candidate Excelsior awaits an away match against Feyenoord.

The explosion in Waalwijk was big in the 91st minute. Richonell Margaret made it 1-1 for RKC against PEC Zwolle. Knowing that Excelsior was 4-0 ahead against Heracles, it was a crucial goal in the fight against relegation.

RKC had fallen behind after an hour of football. Lennart Thy hit the target with a shot that deflected. The Waalwijkers had to give chase and were helped by PEC Zwolle. Zico Buurmeester received a red card just before the end.

Exciting ending
Two minutes later RKC scored. Margaret shot in a rebound, allowing RKC to draw a draw. That point is extremely important, because Henk Fraser’s formation – on goal difference – remains above Excelsior. The Rotterdam team won 4-0 against Heracles and have the same number of points as the Waalwijk club.

An unprecedented apotheosis awaits next week. The difference in the rankings is currently only three goals in favor of RKC. Since Excelsior is visiting Feyenoord and RKC has to go to PSV, there is a good chance that the decision will be based on the goal difference.
