Pro ShotsRoda JC – De Graafschap

NOS Voetbal•gisteren, 22:25

Roda JC has lost a home victory over De Graafschap in the first division. Five minutes before the end, the Doetinchem team made it 1-1 through a goal by Maas Willemsen.

Roda thus failed to equalize on points with Willem II, the leader of the first division. The difference is now two points, but the Tilburg team still has a game in hand.

Willem II will play at MVV Maastricht on Saturday. FC Groningen hopes to come close to Roda JC that evening, when it hosts SC Cambuur. Numbers one and two in the first division are promoted to the Premier League.

Dordrecht undefeated for ten matches

Number four FC Dordrecht defeated TOP Oss 3-1. With the victory, Dordrecht has been undefeated for ten games. Leo Seydoux and Mathis Suray scored after beautiful attacks, Korede Osundina scored the third Dordrecht goal.

Through a nice build-up, Roda JC managed to take the lead very early in the Parkstad Limburg Stadium. Enrique Pena Zauner was reached on the left in the fourth minute. The attacker did not hesitate and shot face to face with goalkeeper Thijs Jansen: 1-0.

It was already the twelfth goal this season for the Venezuelan international, born in Germany.

Roda was more than happy to watch the clock in the second half, because a second goal was not possible. And then there was the equalizer, in the 85th minute. Willemsen headed the ball in from a corner kick. The 20-year-old defender was in the starting line-up for De Graafschap for the first time, after just three substitute appearances.

Blunder Ronald Koeman

Away at Telstar, FC Emmen turned a 2-0 deficit into a 2-3 win. Partly because Telstar had to continue with ten men in the first half due to a red card from Jay Kruiver.

Due to goals from Thomas Oude Kotte and Mohammed Tahiri, there initially seemed to be no problem for the club from Velsen-IJmuiden. But shortly afterwards Kruiver got red.

Vicente Besuijen quickly scored the tying goal in the second half. In principle there was still nothing wrong with that.

But then keeper Ronald Koeman junior from Telstar made a huge blunder. He threw the ball in front of him, thinking he could take a free kick. However, that was not the case. And so he threw the ball at the feet of attacker Ben Scholte, who could easily tap in.

Ten minutes later, captain Maikel Kieftenbeld headed the winning goal hard against the ropes.
