Coach Mike Snoei was furious after his team conceded an unjustified penalty against NAC Breda (3-1 loss). Nick Smit put the ball on the spot after an alleged handball from Mitch Apau, but the Telstar trainer had nothing good to say about him. “You can roll up your sleeves completely and both arms are full of tattoos and those stickers. He is not tough at all,” Snoei is clear about Smit.
“Why did you give that penalty? What did you see?”, Snoei wonders out loud. Apau kept his arms at his sides when the ball hit him, but the ball still hit the spot. Domenik Janosek scored the 1-1, after which NAC Breda was given the match. “I try to understand what he has to see, but they only needed one replay to see that this is not a penalty.”
It was frustrating, because until the penalty moment Telstar led 1-0 thanks to a nice shot from Zakaria Eddahchouri. The atmospheric Rat Verlegh Stadium was mainly grumbling. Although the White Lions When they entered the changing rooms with the score tied, Telstar was no longer a shadow of the team it was. “We started walking backwards. No, you have to keep playing the same game, then nothing will happen.”

The defeat was particularly sad for Eddahchouri. The striker scored his fifth goal of the season for Telstar, but once again his goal turned out to be worthless. He is now the undisputed attack leader of the Velsen team, which makes him a proud newcomer. “I’m someone who is eager every week and competition is always good. I’m happy with how things are going so far, but I hope it goes as a team.”
After the defeat, Telstar remains stuck at seven points in the first division. Next week the bottom line TOP Oss will visit Velsen-Zuid.
