After the break, FC Volendam continued to look for the opening goal, but the convincing and pace were lacking. Ultimately, Veerman, Bukala and Leliendal had to turn the tide. Robert Mühren was close to the liberating goal, but he shot hard against the crossbar. At the other end, Volendam escaped, as Sem van Dijk knocked the ball into Steur’s fists.
Extension
Ultimately, an extension had to be the deciding factor. Genemuiden could only hold back, but Volendam did not have much left in the tank. Until Aurelio Oehlers broke the spell in the 108th minute with a line in the intersection. Henk Veerman then ended the game with a simple strike: 2-0. “We are through in the cup, but we have wasted a lot of energy unnecessarily,” Kruys said.
