Last: Telstar – Willem II 2-2
This time the players of Telstar can make a honorary round. That was not possible last Friday due to the inconveniencies after the game against FC Den Bosch. It remains calm now.
It remains 2-2 in Velsen-Zuid. A good result for Telstar after a reversed backlog via a goal of Willem II and Youssef El Kachati. Unfortunately, Emilio Kehrer still scored the equalizer.
Sebastiaan Hagedoorn, an attacker, comes in for Tyrese Noslin, a defender. Anthony Correia still has attacking intentions in the final phase.
It doesn’t look like a moment, but out of nowhere it is 2-2 again. Emilio Kehrer shoots the ball very quietly behind Ronald Koeman Jr. At the same time, Tyrone Owusu and El Kachati go to the side for Tom Overtoom and Reda Kharchouch.
Youssef El Kachati goes to the ground in the penalty area. Referee Jeroen Manschot sees no violation – just like in the first half. The VAR does not intervene either.
It has become 2-1 for Telstar! Anyone else than Youssef El Kachati scores the second goal of De Witte Leeuwen. El Kachati rams the ball in the goal on the instructions of Danny Bakker.
The ball is in the net! Mees Kaandorp extends a pass from Tyrese Noslin and Didillon-Hödl can turn this bet. Runar Thor Sigurgeirsson then taps the ball behind his own keeper.
Jayden Turfkruier gets the ball at the feet after a pass from Mitch Apau. Turfkruier will waste the ball and Guus Offerhaus then extracts hard with the left. Goalkeeper Thomas Didillon-Hödl can save.
Moments later there is a fast counter on the left. Again the goalie of Willem II can save the ball. Telstar comes fresh from the dressing room.
The last 45 minutes of Telstar in Velsen-Zuid this season have started. Devon Koswal is changed for Jayden Turfkruier.
The first half is a thing of the past. Unfortunately there was not yet a high-quality game, making it logical that it is only 1-0. Unfortunately in the wrong goal via Ringo Meerveld from Willem II.
Nils Rossen gets a big push in the back of Raffael Behousek. Referee Jeroen Manschot sees no violation in it and the VAR also intervenes. That means there will be no penalty kick.
From a handsome attack over several discs, the ball comes in front of Danny Bakker. He is completely free and mows over the ball. Telstar is playing football more and more in the game.
A pass from Tyrese Noslin goes very hard for the goal. Unfortunately, Mees Kaandorp is just short of toe length.
Telstar is then very lucky. A shot by Dennis Kaygin goes just next to the goal of De Witte Leeuwen.
Willem II takes the lead. Kyan Vaesen trumps Danny Bakker with a shoulderow and releases the ball on Ringo Meerveld. He can easily tap the ball into the goal. There is still a check of the VAR, but it is not a violation.
Just before that, Tyrone Owusu shot the ball into the side net. Domper for Telstar.
The tension is still full in this opening phase in Velsen-Zuid. Telstar and Willem II cannot yet create opportunities.
The hockey players of Amsterdam have become national champions. With a 2-1 victory in their own Wagener Stadium, the Amsterdammers undo the defeat of 4-3 from the first game in Utrecht in the regular competition, after which shoot-outs had to make the decision. The club from the capital was the best in that.
It is the first national title since 2012 and the 22nd in total for Amsterdam.
This Ascension Day has not become a festive for the table tennis players of Noordkop. The team led by the 49-year-old captain/coach Ana Gogorita lost 4-3 to the Nieuwegein VTV. The beginning was still hopeful, after the first game was won by Shuohan Men. The women from Nieuwegein then hit back and narrowly won.
Jesper de Jong (24) was unable to stunt Roland Garros. The Hoofddorper managed to surprise Alexander Zverev (28) in the first set, but he finally went down in four sets (6-3 1-6 2-6 3-6) in the second round of the Grandlam Tournament in Paris. Zverev plays in the third round against the winner of the Italian gathering between Flavio Cobolli and Matteo Arnaldi.
Despite the defeat against Zverev, De Jong can return to his second performance in Paris with a good feeling. The number 2 in the Netherlands achieved a good win in the first round on the Italian Francesco Passaro. He managed to turn a 2-0 deficit in sets into a victory. De Jong hopes to make his debut at Wimbledon’s grass tournament next month.
