Driving 60 kilometers for 180 seconds of football; Jong FC Volendam and IJsselmeervogels do not score

In the three minutes that had to be played today between Jong FC Volendam and IJsselmeervogels, no more goals were scored. It therefore remained at 3-3.

On Saturday, May 6, the game in the second division was stopped in injury time because a plastic cup of beer was thrown on the field twice. As a result, the referee had no choice but to stop the game definitively. At the same time, supporters clashed with each other. Because of the major interests at stake in connection with the playoffs and relegation, the KNVB wanted the game to be played out.

Off the line

That is why IJsselmeervogels made the sixty-kilometer trip from Spakenburg to Volendam again tonight. Only the players and technical staff came to the North Holland fishing village. No supporters were allowed to be present for the remainder of the game tonight. An interesting detail was that there was a different referee on the field for the last three minutes. Not Thijs Dogterom, but Thomas Hardeman handled the whistle for the remaining minutes.

IJsselmeervogels got one big chance in the 180 seconds of football. Former FC Volendam player Daniël van Son had the winning goal on his shoe, only the defender came across Kayne van Oevelen. The goalkeeper of FC Volendam turned the bet on the goal line.

Despite the draw Jong FC Volendam had already been relegated from the second division. IJsselmeervogels also makes little progress with the division of points and remain sixteenth in the standings. With two rounds to go, IJsselmeervogels is five points behind Excelsior Maassluis, which is in the safe fifteenth place.
