FC Eindhoven failed to take the period title. At home, ADO Den Haag had to win, but it drew 1-1.
The connection goal of Joey Sleegers ensured that the audience was brought back to life. After the Eindhoven team fell behind for the first time in 2022 in the first half, it had to chase after, knowing that only a victory was enough for the period title.
In the first half, Sem Steijn had given the visitors from The Hague the lead. It was the away team’s first and only chance in the first half. FC Eindhoven countered that with a lot of ball possession, but no real opportunities.
Final Offensive
With about 25 minutes left on the clock, FC Eindhoven was one goal away from the period title. And suddenly there were plenty of opportunities. Sleegers was close on a pass from Jort van der Sande and substitute Justin Ogenia also had a good chance of the winning goal.
Just before time it was impossible to predict which way this match would go. In the end, the efforts of the home team were not rewarded. Because no more goals were scored in the six-minute stoppage time. It remained a 1-1 draw, which means that FC Eindhoven misses the Period title.
