“It ends like a very annoying day,” says Kruys. The trainer saw his team performing against Excelsior. Volendam thought he would take the lead through Robert Mühren. The audience was already on the benches, but the ball turned out not to have been over the line.
With two goals from Derensili Sanches Fernandes, FC Volendam looked at a 2-0 deficit early. “I saw that we hard started, most duels didn’t have and then it is quickly 2-0.” Mawouna Amevor concluded that the willpower had already disappeared afterwards. “I found the heads hanging out quite quickly after the 2-0.”

FC Volendam already assured itself from promotion to the Eredivisie on Monday. “Of course we celebrated a party and a certain pressure from our shoulders has fallen,” says Kruys about the missing sharpness at Volendam. “But you hope to turn that into positive energy. We were not that fresh.”
