Pelikaan S is also starting from scratch after a few good home games. Coach Robbie Wentink’s team drew 1-1 against Quick’20. Omar Kavak was once again important for the Oostwolders, he scored the only Groningen goal of the afternoon.
After five games in the fourth division, it was time to carefully draw the first conclusions. In the case of Pelikaan S, it was performing well in its home games with a win and two draws, which was certainly not achieved against the least teams. But according to Wentink, it was below par in away games until last Saturday. It was different in Oldenzaal.
Three excellent opportunities
“We also performed well in an away match. We didn’t really give anything away in the first half and we still created three excellent chances. Just before half time, someone got a red card from them. At first I thought it was a ‘good’ yellow card. Against ten men we had more and more of the ball after the break,” Wentink said after the match.
Twelfth place
That possession also led to a goal. Omar Kavak came in from outside in the 64th minute and curled it into the corner. “A typical Kavak goal, it’s kind of his trademark. Unfortunately, they equalized three minutes later. We lost control of the game. Too bad, because we should have gotten more out of this against ten men.” After the draw, Pelikaan S is in twelfth place with six points from six matches.
