Due to two late goals from substitute Quinten van den Heerik, Telstar closed the season with a 2-1 win over NAC Breda. For example, a fitting farewell was said to the departing General Manager Pieter de Waard. Because of the victory, Telstar ends in the left row.
Glynor Plet was honored as top scorer in the competition for Telstar before the game. Due to his goal against MVV last week, he took over that title from Sander Oostrom due to his 88e in the service of Telstar. It is still uncertain whether he will play his last game for the White Lions tonight. Someone who will not return to Velsen-Zuid after the summer is Pieter de Waard. The game against NAC Breda was his last as general manager after seventeen years.
Telstar got the first big opportunity through Christos Giousis. The Greek went towards the goal and was able to shoot the ball in for an empty goal, but Tijs Velthuis stopped the ball in front of the line. To make matters worse, the team from Breden then took the lead. Ezechiel Banzuzi gave the cross and Odysseus Velanas scored the goal: 0-1. It was that Ronald Koeman Jr. had a fantastic save on a Velanas shot, otherwise it would have been 2-0 for NAC.

The honored Plet was allowed to show his skills in the second half and seemed to crown his election fairly quickly. He scored the equalizer, but that goal was canceled due to an alleged foul by the tall striker. David Min then had two great chances. As often this season, those opportunities did not go in the goal. As a result, it seemed to end in defeat, but nothing could be further from the truth.
It was Quinten van den Heerik, who scored the equalizer just before time: 1-1. However, the game ended in a minor, because beer was thrown on the field when celebrating the goal. After a three-minute cooling-off period, the match resumed. Unbelievable but true, Van den Heerik also hit the 2-1 in injury time.
