FOOTBALL – Titan is the new leader in the 4th division D of Sunday football. The team from Nieuw Weerdinge won in and against Gasselternijveen with 1-2 and could thank striker Harmjan Moesker and referee Beekhuis for that.
The ‘man in black’, who appeared on the field with a yellow shirt before half-time and a blue shirt after tea, had a crucial role. Three minutes before the end, he gave the guests a present by rewarding a dip from Harmjan Moesker with a penalty, which was then shot in by the striker himself.
Moesker the big man
That goal made Moesker the big man of Titan, not for the first time this season. It was his thirteenth goal of the season. About twenty minutes before the 1-2 he had already scored the 1-1 in a clever way.
Moesker was of course happy with the points, the lead in the 4th division D and of course also with referee Beekhuis. “It was a gift, because not much happened. But Oosting, the defender of Gasselternijveen, pulled me to the shirt throughout the game. I also told the referee. He said that I had to give him a chance once. to whistle, because I stopped every time.”
Two unjustly disallowed goals
Moesker gave the artbiter the chance three minutes before the end in a match that didn’t really deserve a winner. The first half was for the home team, which deserved to be 1-0 thanks to a nice diagonal shot by Brandon Meems. After the break, the roles were reversed and Titan ended up at 1-1. Incidentally, Beekhuis also disapproved of two apparently flawless goals, also neatly divided between both teams. For example, Menas Sihasale was incorrectly flagged for offside for Gasselternijveen and Harmjan Moesker headed in the middle of the first half after a ‘completely normal’ duel, but that goal was also cancelled.
Titan is the new leader in the 4th division D with 21 points from 8 duels. The formation of trainer Martin Koppenol passed Sleen. Gasselternijveen is in fifth place with 14 points from 8 matches.
