On NH Radio a new broadcast from NH Sport starts at 4.30 pm. Herein a live report from Telstar – Go Ahead Eagles.
Soon the interviews with trainer Rick Kruys from FC Volendam and the match winner Brandley Kuwas.
The first competition victory of the season is in for the men of Rick Kruys. PEC Zwolle is beaten 2-1.
The attacker pops a free kick of more than 25 meters on the bar. FC Volendam can now really smell the victory.
The substitute on the FC Volendam side pops the ball devastating hard on goal. The audience springs up and thinks it’s a goal, but the ball really goes into the side net.
FC Volendam brings Robert Mühren to the team and Xavier Mbuyamba as an extra lock.
Henk Veerman and Robin van Cruijsen are struggling and go to the side.
Aurelio Oehlers and Ozan Kökcü come in the field for Joel Ideho and Nordin Bukala.
More than fifteen minutes to play and FC Volendam has the first victory of the season.
Nordin Bukala gets the ball after a good action by Joel Ideho for his feet on the edge of the penalty area. Bukala tries it with a placed shot, but aiming a meter next to the goal.
Tristan Gooijer is cold in the field or he goes to the grass in the penalty area. The linesman indicates that there is contact with Yannick Leliendal, but the VAR is reversing the decision.
The mercenary of Ajax takes fire on behalf of PEC Zwolle the goal of Kayne van Oevelen. The Pole’s attempt sails a meter over the Klat.
The visitors make the equalizer out of nowhere. Kaj de Rooij appears completely freely at the second post and pops the ball hard and high into the goal. A hefty damper this for FC Volendam just before half -time.
FC Volendam is loose. This time right back Precious Ugwu takes the goal with a concealed shot under fire. The goalkeeper of PEC Zwolle is too late and sees the shot ended up on the post. In the Nastoot, Ideho pops the ball into the Jaap Bond stand.
Kaj de Rooij gets the ball a few meters from the goal in front of his feet. The left winger of PEC Zwolle shoots far too rushed and sees the ball end up in the witchide. The defense of FC Volendam was sleeping there.
Henk Veerman finishes cold -blooded after being set free for the keeper. The striker of FC Volendam, however, was a meter offside so that the party does not take place. The home team has now been close to the opening goal three times.
Another big chance for Nordin Bukala. This time he comes face to face with the Edam goalkeeper Tom de Graaff of PEC Zwolle. Bukala needs too much time and sees his attempt being blocked.
The FC Volendam – PEC Zwolle competition has started.
Steven Berghuis almost throws the game in the lock there. Boy Kemper removes his shot in front of the line.
NAC Breda also gets a nice chance in the extra playing time. Charles-Andreas Brym shoots with the left just past. Ajax craves the last whistle. Three minutes to go.
Wout Weghorst is the replacement of Davy Klaassen and Kian Fitz-Jim comes in for Oscar Gloukh.
A red card for Max Balard. The midfielder of NAC Breda already had yellow and grabs Kenneth Taylor in front of the referee’s nose. He gets his second yellow card from Marc Nagtegaal and so Ajax now has a man more,
It is almost a miracle that Ajax still leads against NAC Breda. Sydney van Hooijdonk touches the pole after Josip Sutalo is visiting him.
For the third time this afternoon, NAC scores, but the goal has been rejected for the second time. Boy Kemper gives a low cross on Kamal Sowah, but the offside player is just offside. Ajax therefore remains the lead.
Ajax comes out of the dressing room and looks much better. Oscar Gloukh shoots the ball past after a good attack by the Amsterdammers.
Ajax shoots from the starting blocks in the second half. After a checkered shot, the ball comes in front of Kenneth Taylor and he rams the ball against the ropes.
The ball rolls again in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Trainer John Heitinga has intervened and brings Raul Moro to Oliver Edvardsen and Jorthy Mokio is the replacement for Don-Angelo Konadu.
This indicates how Ajax is in the match. Davy Klaassen shoots a free kick to Oliver Edvardsen, but the Norwegian is tie his laces at that moment. The ball goes over him and flies over the sidelines.
The statistics are poignant. So towards the break Ajax has only managed to firm one shot on goal, compared to six from NAC Breda.
NAC seems to take the lead in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Boy Kemper delivers a perfect cross on the right to Sydney van Hooijdonk, who heads the ball hard in the top corner. Kemper, however, turned out to be offside.
The audience is starting to grind more and more in the stands in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The fans of Ajax see NAC playing together the next chance. A long shot from Lewis Holtby rolls next to the goal. Another chance for the Noord-Brabanders. We have not seen Ajax for the goal of NAC for some time.
Ajax gets away just as well. Goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros dives over the ball at a low cross, but there is no one from NAC to tap the ball. Ajax has to stay with the lesson.
Sydney van Hooijdonk uses the penalty kick. He sends Vitezslav Jaros the wrong corner and puts NAC Breda at the same level.
After studying the images, referee Marc Nagtegaal concludes that it will be a penalty.
Owen Wijndal holds the shirt of Sydney van Hooijdonk at a corner and then gets the ball on his hand. A stupid action of Ajax’s left back. Referee Marc Nagtegaal is called to the screen by the VAR.
A super -fast lead for Ajax. Oscar Gloukh sets up the attack, gets the ball back via Kenneth Taylor and Mika Godts and slides the ball in the corner.
Ajax and NAC Breda started the match in the Johan Cruijff Arena,
Youri Baas has sustained an injury to his knee tendon and is therefore missing in the base at Ajax. “A striker for a striker,” says trainer John Heitinga at ESPN about the spits position. Don-Angelo Konadu plays on the site of Kasper Dolberg. Wout Weghorst is sitting on the couch at Ajax. Oscar Gloukh plays from the 10 position. “Of course he was also achieved for that position. So I’m curious,” said Heitinga.
The World Cup cycling in Rwanda is in full swing. The Women’s Road Fight is about 164.4 kilometers, spread over eleven laps in and around the capital Kigali. Riejanne Markus from Diemen participates and drives along in the group with pursuers.
Young Ajax and Young AZ came out in the first division. With varying results, the two promise teams left the field. Young Ajax lost 2-4 to VVV-Venlo on the future. In De Vliert, the Alkmaarders achieved a 2-3 victory visiting FC Den Bosch.
Ajax gathered 12 points in the first six league matches. The Amsterdammers are still without defeat (3x win, 3x the same) and we find in third place in the Eredivisie. Last week Ajax fought in the final minutes to a 2-2 draw against PSV. Opponent NAC Breda can be found in place 13 with 7 points. De Brabanders won 2-1 last week against Hekkenluiter Heracles Almelo.
