FC Volendam was humiliated tonight by FC Emmen. The game between the numbers one and two of the first division ended in 4-1 for the home team. As a result, the people of Drenthe take over the first place from the eel farmers, who have been at the top since 1 October.
From the first minute it was FC Emmen that struck the clock on the Oude Meerdijk. Born Volendammer Jari Vlak first mowed over the ball, but the second big chance was hit. After struggling on Walid Ould-Chikh’s backline, Reda put Kharchouch back on Rui Mendes. He turned freely and shot in flawlessly: 1-0.
Three goals in five minutes
After an opportunity for Gaetano Oristanio and a weak cross by Walid Ould-Chikh behind Robert Mühren, it was 2-0. Former Telstar striker Kharchouch only went after Stankovic in the 36th minute. He was allowed to continue on the edge of offside and knocked the ball over the FC Volendam keeper.
That was far from over in the first half, because halfway through it was no less than 4-0 (!). First Miguel Araujo headed in hard after a free kick and moments later Kharchouch simply tapped in on a pass from Mendes.
Eref goal Van Mieghem
After the break FC Emmen no longer needed, so FC Volendam also got more of a share in the match. That also led to the 4-1 halfway through the second half. Dean James had a nice play on the right and saw Daryl van Mieghem standing free on the left. With a hard shot, the winger scored the goal from Volendam.
Furthermore, the team of trainer Wim Jonk did not come, as a result of which FC Volendam now faces a deficit of one point. Competitors FC Eindhoven and ADO Den Haag drew 1-1 in their mutual duel. FC Emmen therefore not only takes the lead, but also wins the third period. Volendam still has five points more than number three Excelsior, where it is Friday evening 5-2 of lost†
