Cambuur vs Jong PSV: Missed Top Spot Opportunity

Nicolas Verkooijen has made it 2-0 against Cambuur

NOS Football

SC cambuur has suffered a painful defeat in the first division. Henk de Jong’s team lost 3-2 to Jong PSV and therefore failed to draw level with leader ADO Den Haag.The deficit remains three points, with a game in hand.

With the victory,Jong PSV rose from sixth to third place,just ahead of Almere city,which was stuck at 1-1 at MVV and therefore suffered an expensive loss of points in the period standings. The latter also applied to Willem II, which lost 2-1 to bottom-of-the-table Jong Ajax.

It was barely visible in the first half that Cambuur had been able to do good buisness. It was mainly the home team that looked for the attack. After just fifteen minutes Raf van de Riet had already fired a warning shot

Joel van den Berg puts Jong PSV at 1-0 against SC Cambuur

Mulders had hit the inside of the post with a low cross, the main achievement of the guests before half time. After the break,Cambuur had not yet been dangerous,when Kluit scored the 3-0 after a clever backheel from Van Duiven.

Cambuur’s chance of a result, let alone a victory, seemed to be over. But Ismaël Baouf nodded in the 3-1 more than ten minutes before the end and after Remco Balk had headed onto the crossbar, the Frisians were allowed to take a penalty after a foul on Tony Rölke. A job for Mark Diemers: 3-2.

However, the first defeat since October 24 – 4-2 at RKC Waalwijk – was no longer possible.

No revenge Almere City

Almere City had risen to third place in recent weeks thanks to a series of victories from the bottom regions of the first division, but saw that success streak come to an end on Friday due to the home defeat against Roda JC.

The Flevolanders were keen on revenge for that mistake when they visited MVV. Junior Kadile could have helped his team get started, but he shot high from close range. Goalkeeper Jonas Wendlinger kept Almere going with a great save on a strike from Marko Kleinen, but made a clumsy mistake in the same attack.

A weak header from Lias Breugelmans seemed to end with an arc in the hands of Wendlinger, but the Austrian miscalculated, causing the ball to carom into the goal via the crossbar and the outstretched arms of the closing post: 1-0.

Almere City coach Jeroen Rijsdijk brought two fresh players into the team after the break and one of them, Ferdy Druijf, quickly had success. He was extremely alert when the ball suddenly landed at his feet after a defensive action by Wout Coomans: 1-1. His header shortly before the end sailed over the Limburg goal.

17-year-old Ajax player kills Willem II

willem II, who was also in a good position in the third period, was defeated by Jong Ajax.The team from Amsterdam made it 1-0 after halftime through a goal by Skye Vink after a rush by Jinairo Johnson, who had made his debut in Ajax 1 as a substitute against Excelsior on Sunday.

Willem II came alongside through Devin Haen, but Abdellah Ouazane, who turned 17 last month, and who had already hit the post twice, scored the last goal with his first goal for Jong Ajax in the 82nd minute.Also becuase raffael Behounek’s equalizer was disallowed for offside, apparently wrongly.
