FC Emmen suffered a defeat for the second time this week on Saturday afternoon. In a full but cold old Meerdijk, leader FC Volendam was 1-2 too strong for the team of trainer Alfons Arts.
At the start of the game, FC Volendam struck twice in a five -minute period of five minutes. In the 8th minute, Jacobs headed out of a cross from Mühren. The attacker stood between several people from Emmen, but still managed to head in easily. Five minutes later, Henk Veerman benefited from the slipping of Mike in Wierik to shoot the 0-2.
FC Emmen immediately got a chance on the connection goal via Pascal Mulder, but his header went wide. In the 23rd minute it was Michael Martin who tested keeper Van Oevelen with a Zwabberball, but the bar brought to the Volendammers. In the injury time of the first half, FC Emmen was close to a goal three times, but each time a Volendammer was in the way.
After the break, FC Emmen, with Eduardo for Nsona, was better. Immediately after the break, Schouten was close to the connection goal, but his shot went through the keeper in the side net. In the 56th minute, Kade, who was free to walk through a quick throw-in from Eduardo, laid down in the penalty area, after which Hawkins used the penalty: 1-2.
FC Volendam came through Veerman close to 1-3 in the 68th minute, but his shot went wild. Despite the introduction of attackers such as Landu, Bakir and Debutant van Manen, FC Emmen no longer came to great opportunities in the last half hour. The home team had a lot of possession, but was unable to find a gap in the Volendam defense through inspiration -free football.
After the last whistle, there was another upset between the two teams, which started at Quuispel and Payne. Players of both teams mixed in the tumult, but soon the referee managed to calm the minds.
Due to the defeat, FC Emmen remains in tenth place, three points away from a place that entitles you to a post -competition. On Friday, the away match against Top Oss is waiting for the Drenthe team.
