Of the seven Hondsrug derby’s that have been played so far in the premier league, at least two can be labeled as memorable. The first is the edition of December 16, 2018. FC Groningen took a 1-0 lead in the 87th minute through a goal from Mimoun Mahi, seemed to be playing a won game, until a few minutes later the astonishment struck in Euroborg. Nicklas Pedersen, who was maligned in Groningen, first kicked the 1-1 and then the 1-2 against the ropes in the ultimate final phase.
