A strange end to another grandiose football afternoon for Telstar. The team of Anthony Correia qualified for the semi-final of the play-offs, after another victory over ADO The Hague. Supporters showed their worst side and threw fireworks on the field. As a result, the game ended prematurely and Telstar was taken away from the moment of joy after the last whistle. “Unfortunately not that euphoric feeling,” said a disappointed Correia.
“Out at The Hague, then you know that separate things can happen. It is up to us not to worry about it,” Correia continues. “But we don’t have to squeak. Just inside and be ready again. I think it’s a waste of those toilet rolls.”
The victory was extra special for Telstar midfielder Tyrone Owusu. Owusu enjoyed his youth education at ADO Den Haag, but was told that there was no future for him at the club. “It’s nice to be back here. But you also want to prove yourself, because they did let you go. I wanted to leave a stamp that I grew as a person and as a player.”

Just like for Owusu, it was also a reunion for Mo Hamdaoui with his former employer. The wing attacker had since changed when his attack partner Youssef El Kachati shot the 0-1 in the ropes.
“Whether it is ADO or another team, you always want to win. In terms of motivation, you didn’t have to motivate me extra today,” said Hamdaoui, who leaves with a lot of noise from The Hague.

The 0-1 win in The Hague was more than enough after the 2-0 in Velsen-Zuid to extend to the semi-final of the play-offs. FC Den Bosch awaits this, which switched off SC Cambuur on Friday evening. The diptych between Telstar and FC Den Bosch starts on Tuesday 20 May with the first game in Brabant. On Friday, May 23, the Return at Sportpark Schoonenberg will be.
Both games start at 8 p.m. and can be followed live via an extra broadcast from NH Sport on NH Radio. In addition, on the website and on the app everything about the competition can be read in our live blog.
