View the summary of FC Volendam – Go Ahead Eagles
Robert Mühren has given FC Volendam a point against Go Ahead Eagles in the final part of the 21st round of the Premier League. The substitute made it 1-1 in the 74th minute.
The Eagles have been waiting for a win since early November and occupy a disappointing fourteenth place. FC Volendam is one place lower.
The visitors from Deventer had taken an early lead at De Dijk. Volendam keeper Kayne van Oevelen released the ball after a shot by Mathis Suray and Victor Edvardsen used the rebound in the tenth minute (0-1).
After the break, Go Ahead found itself with ten men due to a red card for debutant Alfons Sampsted, the replacement for Mats Deijl. The right back received his second yellow after a foul on Joel Ideho.
Substitutes turn it around
With eleven against ten and under the impetus of substitutes Mühren, Robin van Cruijsen and Bilal Ould-Chikh, back on loan in Volendam, the home team became increasingly stronger.
‘Supersub’ Mühren equalizes for Volendam against Go Ahead
The equalizer came more than fifteen minutes before the end. Ould-Chikh brought the ball into the penalty area, Van Cruijsen opened up nicely and delivered a neat ball into the five-meter area, where Mühren appeared to score the goal (1-1).
It was already his fourth goal as a substitute this season for the 36-year-old Mühren. He scored three times in the Premier League and once in the KNVB Cup, leading his team to the quarter-finals earlier this month.
Go Ahead had to survive another fifteen minutes. It succeeded, thanks to goalkeeper Jari De Busser.
