FC Eindhoven failed to beat Willem II for the third time this season. In the Koning Willem II Stadium in Tilburg, the number three of the Kitchen Champion Division lost with clear figures: 3-0. The home team made a giant leap in the ranking with the victory: from ninth to fifth place.
Willem II took the lead in the 11th minute through a goal from Jizz Hornkamp. He scored from an attack, which, according to all that FC Eindhoven was, followed a foul. Referee Dennis Higler was uninfluenced and stuck to his decision. After the break, the home club had a hard time, but after Elton Kabangu hit the post, Dani Mathieu scored the 2-0 with a bit of luck. In the 88th minute, the Brabant derby was finally decided by Jeremy Bokila.
Just like last Friday at FC Dordrecht, FC Eindhoven was not strong enough offensively. Moreover, it is not for nothing that Willem II has one of the least passed defenses.
Willem II – FC Eindhoven was recently canceled because the field had become unplayable due to snowfall. Earlier this season, FC Eindhoven won in its own Jan Louwers Stadium in competition and for the KNVB Cup tournament against the ‘tricolores’. Due to the defeat, the formation of Rob Penders hands over third place to Almere City FC, but can put things back in order in a direct encounter on Friday at the Aalsterweg.
