De Graafschap still to play-offs thanks to Almere City slip, Roda JC takes period title | Dutch football

The task that De Graafschap had against Young Ajax: in any case not to lose. Furthermore, the team from Doetinchem had to make requests to the gods. Almere City could win the fourth period with a win and thus secure the play-offs despite the fourteenth place in the ranking. But Alex Pastoor’s team lost 0-3 against Jong AZ.

As a result, FC Eindhoven was on pole position to take the fourth period title, but the Eindhoven team did not get further than a 2-2 draw at FC Volendam. The team of trainer Rob Penders is the number three in the play-offs for promotion to the Eredivisie. As a result, Roda JC grabbed the period title, after having won 4-3 against Telstar with difficulty.

De Graafschap, on the other hand, drew against Jong Ajax (1-1), the number seven. But because the U23 team cannot promote, De Graafschap, ninth in the ranking, gets the last ticket for the competition dessert. And the prayers were answered.
