League Play-Off

Reiken Sportveld
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Mickael Daelemans got the match started through his kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Laageinde's zone, Mickael Daelemans stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rogier Oldenborger came out of the goal and Mickael Daelemans tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Andreas Eschendaal could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 8th minute of the match, but Rogier Oldenborger made a huge save. Mickael Daelemans fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rogier Oldenborger having to interfere. 15 minutes into the match, Reiken's goal looked a bit too open when Ruben Ellerman came free, but Gertjan Genkenaar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sjaak van der Werff took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 33rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gertjan Genkenaar. Reiken's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Gertjan Genkenaar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Frederik Klasens in the 36th minute of the match. 42 minutes into the match, Reiken's goal looked a bit too open when Ruben Ellerman came free, but Gertjan Genkenaar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 44 minutes into the match, Reiken's goal looked a bit too open when Frederik Klasens came free, but Gertjan Genkenaar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Chiel Zeegelaar came up free with the goalie in the 48th minute, the Laageinde fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Chiel Zeegelaar couldn't finish the play. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Frederik Klasens to make the kick off. After having played for 53 minutes, Mickael Daelemans managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Reiken's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mickael Daelemans was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 55 minutes into the match, Reiken's goal looked a bit too open when Frederik Klasens came free, but Gertjan Genkenaar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ruben Ellerman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gertjan Genkenaar having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Pepijn Oortwijn during the 58th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Laageinde booed when Reiken was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 58 match minutes in a wonderful position. Pepijn Oortwijn didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Frederik Klasens had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ruben Ellerman took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gertjan Genkenaar. Gertjan Genkenaar dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. With a little luck, Reiken's Gertjan Genkenaar got control of the ball when Ruben Ellerman tried to sneak it across the goal line. Frederik Klasens recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 74th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mickael Daelemans received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Rogier Oldenborger tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Andreas Eschendaal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 83rd minute Andreas Eschendaal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rogier Oldenborger saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gilbert Spierenburg hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. Mickael Daelemans was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 91st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Ruben Ellerman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the final whistle sounded Laageinde left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Reiken.
