TOP Oss FC Eindhoven 1-2

Within fifteen minutes Mawouna Amevor headed the ball hard against the ropes. The captain did that from a fine corner by Barnabás Rácz.
TOP Oss did not have to do without the club’s top scorer. Kay Tejan has been impressing all season in the red and white of the team of coach Bob Peeters. That was no different in the duel with the provincial colleague. Shortly after a disturbance and the moment the home team started to fight more physically, the striker took care of the equalizer with a striking bicycle kick.
It then seemed for a long time that it would remain a draw. Until Jasper Dahlhaus suddenly came face to face with TOP Oss goalkeeper Norbert Alblas. The winger did not fail and pushed the ball into the goal: 1-2. Shortly before time, Alblas still had an answer to Charles-Andreas Brym’s penalty kick. He stopped the bet, but it was nothing more than a personal success for the goalie. It stayed 1-2. As a result, FC Eindhoven, which saw competitors spill points, can cautiously dream of more than a fifth place. TOP Oss drops one place in the ranking and is now thirteenth.
