View the summary of FC Volendam – NEC
NEC has booked its fourth Eredivisie victory in a row when it visited FC Volendam. The team of coach Dick Schreuder showed De Dijk a strong example of resilience in the second half: 2-3.
NEC has regained third place due to the victory. FC Volendam is number fifteen in the Premier League.
Volendam had more of the initiative before half time and made it 1-0 in the 43rd minute thanks to a converted penalty from Brandley Kuwas. An awkward handball by Darko Nejasmic in the box was punished by the VAR after the NEC midfielder moved his elbow towards the ball.
Bryan Linssen had previously failed to give NEC the lead. His shot from close range was right against goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen.
Nejasmic undoes mistake
Nejasmic quickly made up for his penalty kick mistake in the second half by making it 1-1 with a long shot.
Basar Önal then helped NEC take the lead, which seemed like victory for NEC, as FC Volendam did not seem to be able to overcome that blow.

But then there were some crazy minutes in the final phase. Volendam fought back into the match and made it 2-2 in the ninetieth minute via a header from Mawouna Amevor.
The Japanese Kento Shiogai gave NEC the victory by scoring the 2-3. On a pass from his compatriot Kodai Sano, the attacker became the Nijmegen hero in the sixth minute of injury time.
