League Play-Off

Oudkerk Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jacco Kloppenburg took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, Heppert Eendracht's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Pascall Engbers fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. The crowd rose to their feet as Niels van Zomeren kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Stefano Vervoort. That made the score 1-0 in the 4 minute of play. Gio Blommaart took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bennie Oost, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 10 minutes into the match, Oudkerk HC's goal looked a bit too open when Jacco Kloppenburg came free, but Gio Blommaart reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 16 minutes into the match, Heppert Eendracht's Jacco Kloppenburg sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gio Blommaart narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Bennie Oost blasted a shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Gio Blommaart having to make a save. Dennis van Zalen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Gio Blommaart tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Heppert Eendracht's Stefano Vervoort got control of the ball when Pascall Engbers tried to sneak it across the goal line. Thanks to some nice moves Pascall Engbers could shoot a difficult shot in the 40th minute, which Stefano Vervoort however easily saved by the left post.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Niels van Zomeren made a kick off. Heppert Eendracht's Stefano Vervoort played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pascall Engbers in the 57th minute of play. Stefano Vervoort didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Niels van Zomeren went, in the 58th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-2 was the resulting score. In the 73rd minute, Bennie Oost made a precise shot to the right of Gio Blommaart. Oudkerk HC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. Niels van Zomeren might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Stefano Vervoort. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Niels van Zomeren ran back to his position shaking his head. Pascall Engbers received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Stefano Vervoort tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Jacco Kloppenburg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee gave Oudkerk HC a penalty, 95 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Frank Hoeksma, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Heppert Eendracht's Stefano Vervoort. 4-3.
