Damon Mirani’s 1-1 in the 95th minute against ADO Den Haag meant much more than one point. This was evident from the explosion of joy for the profession with accompanying fans. After hefty defeats against Excelsior and FC Emmen, the captain prevented FC Volendam from ending up in a crisis. And even though the goal came in the final seconds, Mirani hadn’t despaired.
