Excelsior striker Thijs Dallinga broke down in tears on Sunday after his team was promoted to the Eredivisie. “What a great night, I’ve never been so crazy,” the top scorer told ESPN after the 4-4 game at ADO Den Haag. Excelsior entered the final after leading by three goals (3-3), came back in extra time and won on penalties.
Dallinga in particular benefited from the promotion, as he missed a 0-0 penalty. “The worst ever. Fortunately I was able to get the ball in the 92nd minute to extend extra time. I really have no words for this. I’m very proud of this team, it’s really not normal.”
Coach Marinus Dijkhuizen was pleased to see his team maintain half-time during the game, which was interrupted twice due to misconduct by the ADO fans. “You don’t want a scan, do you?” said. “We came out of nowhere. We are a valuable club, that’s great.”
