Excelsior was the leader last week, but was overtaken by FC Volendam on Monday evening after that club won 1-0 against NAC Breda after the much-discussed rejected goal by Ralf Seuntjens. Tonight FC Volendam won 0-1 at Jong AZ. The left-footed right winger Daryl van Mieghem scored the winning goal in Wijdewormer in the 61st minute after a nice pass from Boy Duel.
FC Volendam is two points ahead of pursuer Excelsior, which won 0-2 tonight at ADO Den Haag. Seven minutes after the break Jamal Amofa slipped the 0-1 behind his own goalkeeper Luuk Koopmans. In the 82nd minute, Excelsior captain Redouan El Yaakoubi scored the 0-2 for Excelsior, his third goal of the season for the team of coach Marinus Dijkhuizen. ADO Den Haag received good news last week, because the club can at least finish this season from the KNVB despite all the financial problems.
However, the team of coach Ruud Brood turned out to have no punching power in the 5-3-2 formation tonight without the suspended striker Thomas Verheydt, which Excelsior had little trouble with. The match was stopped for a while, after supporters from Central North threw beer at the linesman on that side.
