Past: FC Volendam – sc Heerenveen 0-2
Past: AZ – FC Twente 2-2
We close the live blog for this Sunday. The day started painfully with a defeat for FC Volendam and ended nicely with a draw against AZ. We’ll be back next Sunday when there are four (!) North Holland Premier League matches at the same time. Have a nice evening and see you then!
It’s incredible! AZ still makes it 2-2 after a wonderful goal by Peer Koopmeiners. That’s good for Ajax.
Mexx Meerdink makes his appearance for AZ. He has a note with him and gives it to Sven Mijnans. Meerdink comes on for Alexandre Penetra.
Bendeguz Kovacs is the other substitute for Ro-Zangelo Daal.
Weslley Patati comes on for Isak Jensen. Peer Koopmeiners was previously exchanged for Jordy Clasie.
Sam Lammers seems to make it 2-1 for the Enschede team. The VAR still has to look into it. Just before the goal, Kristian Hlynsson unfortunately collides with Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
The goal remains standing.
The ball rolls again in Alkmaar. Can AZ take a win in the second half?
It is peaceful in Alkmaar. Jordy Clasie and Sam Lammers score the goals in the first half.
It’s the same again in Alkmaar. Sam Lammers hits behind goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro and that is ultimately an own goal.
AZ takes the lead against FC Twente. Jordy Clasie hits beautifully from distance. It is the captain’s first goal since February 2025 against Galatasaray.
The ball rolls in Alkmaar.
There is little at stake for AZ today against FC Twente. The Alkmaar team especially wants to treat the supporters to an entertaining match. In recent years, AZ has done excellently against the Tukkers at home in the competition.
AZ won seven of the ten times. Twice the match ended in a draw and the Alkmaarders lost only once.
The match is over in Volendam. FC Volendam loses 2-0 due to goals from Luca Oyen and Dylan Vente. Due to the defeat, the Eel Farmers drop to sixteenth place in the rankings. Telstar now takes over place fifteen.
Position at the bottom:
14. Excelsior 32 9 7 16 34 39-53
15. Telstar 32 7 10 15 31 44-54
16. FC Volendam 32 8 7 17 31 33-52
17. NAC Breda 32 5 10 17 25 30-55
18. Heracles ** 31 5 4 22 19 34-79
** downgraded
There is another flaming shot from Yannick Leliendal. His shot is saved by the goalkeeper. The match seems to fizzle out.
There are seven minutes left to play in this match. Can FC Volendam still make it exciting?
Brandley Kuwas shoots an effort just wide of the goal.
Bernt Klaverboer has been stalling for a large part of the second half. The Hekside is done with it and throws stuff on the field. The match is not stopped and on the other side Dylan Vente makes the decision.
Now there is danger again for FC Volendam. Mawouna Amevor towers above everyone and heads just wide of the Heerenveen goal.
Another chance for the home team. The ball hangs in front of the goal and Bilal Ould-Chikh can hit hard. His cannonball is blocked.
Bilal Ould-Chikh dribbles in and plays devastatingly. It leads to a save from Bernt Klaverboer. The beginning of a final offensive? Just before that, Aurelio Oehlers came on for Juninho Bacuna.
Volendam becomes more and more dangerous, because now Robert Mühren heads from close range at Klaverboer.
Yannick Leliendal swings the ball in front and Robert Mühren can head it at the far post. His header goes narrowly wide of the goal. Volendam therefore remains behind.
On the other hand, Steur saves after a hard shot by Vasilios Zagaritis.
Ringo Meerveld suddenly appears completely free in front of goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen. He can just tap the ball wide of the goal.
Van Oevelen then remains lying down after a nasty collision and needs to be treated. It is so serious that he has to be carried off the field on a stretcher. He leaves the field to loud applause. Roy Steur is his replacement.
Ozan Kökcü, Nordin Bukala and Henk Veerman are taken to the side by Rick Kruys. Gibson Yah, Brandley Kuwas and Robert Mühren come on.
There are no changes for either team in the second half. The ball rolls again in Volendam.
The first half is over in Volendam. Just before the end of the first half, FC Volendam gets away with a ball that is cleared in front of the line. See you soon!
There are two minutes left to play in this first half.
Kayne van Oevelen sits down after a long kick and needs treatment. Fortunately he can move on. Roy Steur is the only reserve goalkeeper on the bench at Volendam.
This time the cross comes from the left from the foot of Yannick Leliendal, who is returning from his disciplinary suspension. Henk Veerman can head at the far post, but does so through a defender.
What luck for Volendam. The ball can be tapped in by Dylan Vente in front of an empty goal. However, he slides on the ball and the chance is lost.
On the other hand, Henk Veerman gets a great chance. His shot is barely saved.
Bilal Ould-Chikh comes through dangerously on the right side and delivers a hard cross. Unfortunately for FC Volendam, the ball is missed by everyone. The quick winger is very disappointed.
Less than a minute later, Henk Veerman headed straight into the hands of Bernt Klaverboer. Good chances for Volendam.
SC Heerenveen’s first big chance is a hit. Luca Oyen heads a cross from the left behind goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen.
FC Volendam has not yet crossed the halfway line in the initial phase.
