While FC Volendam was defeated in extra time by Feyenoord, who won in extra time a week ago, the defense of the last team was successful in the away game against SC Heerenveen: 1-2.
With the win in Friesland, he joined FC Volendam Vitesse, who have been under interim coach Michael Dingsdag for a week and a half, but the Arnhem side will continue their action against Almere City on Sunday.
orange wall
As in De Kuip last week, the Volendam team built a huge orange wall in the hope of a quick exit with a successful result. Heerenveen did not know what to do with this approach and only made one threatening move midway through the first half: Van Amersfoort’s shot went wide of the goal.
After a while, the guests got what they wanted. Oliver Braude misjudged George Cox’s long free kick, whereupon Bilal Ould-Chikh made a free pass and placed the ball beautifully with Andries Noppert’s outside left back: 0-1.
Check out the game’s synopsis here:
The only threat for the home team before halftime was Mats Köhlert, who headed the ball over the Volendam goal.
Heerenveen’s task became even more difficult immediately after the restart, having bowed out to leaders PSV in the qualifying round but had previously won three in a row. After sloppy turnovers by the Frisians, Volendammer’s Zach Booth found the deep-lying Lequincio Zeefuik, who brought down Syb van Ottele three times and then outsmarted Noppert: 0:2.
fresh power
After the 65th minute, Norwegian Osame Sahraoui’s attack, which ended more or less by chance with the new Ion Nicolaescu replacing the substitute Patrik Walemark, brought hope back to the hearts of the Frisians. The Moldovan made the score 1-2 with a goal from close range.
In their search for the equaliser, Heerenveen were unable to get past long-range shots from Köhlert and Van Ottele, who fell victim to goalkeeper Mio Backhaus.
