MC: Rodi de Boer/Pascal Hettinga
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
14 -
Schut shorts it left and
Doekhi picks up for the beautiful aerial into the box,
Pala pounching it in with his head
1-0
Kurt subs in for winded
Hoekstra at half.
47 - Garbage defending
1-1
50 -
Doekhi blasts it down the left flank to
Schut. Dribble and cross to
Ahahoui in the box. Two defenders, our Moroccan, and
Pala. One defender is on Ahahaoui, and the second has a choice to make. He opts to try and double our right winger, opening a space for the pass to
Pala and easy score
2-1
91 -
Ahahaoui gets his own cleared corner and sends it right back into the box.
Hettinga pops forward and kicks the ball into the net, a stunning sneak goal that took everyone, including me, by surprise. I thought that was a fluke goal at first
3-1
Pascal Hettinga nets an 8.4, but it's
Gokhan Pala who is PotM with an 8.8. Third star -
Achmed Ahahaoui with a 7.8.
@ HZVV (11th)
G: Bartek Pakiela
D: Ertunc Yildirim/Robin Hoekstra/Bastin Verweij/Hennos Asmalash
MC: Max Oostenrijk/Jeroen Folkers
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
20 -
Asmalash throws in to
Pala and gets it back. Power high ball into the box that's headed away. Only problem is,
Oostenrijk is there to pounce on it some feet outside the half-circle, whereupon he belts the beauty for his first Kampong goal!!!!!! Holy crap!!!!
1-0
25 -
Asmalash makes an absolutely jaw-dropping, goal-saving interception on a free kick, then hammers it wide right to
Doekhi. A rocket down the right flank soars on to
Schut's foot and he's off to the races, everyone tearing their asses to get back. Way too late three defenders are, as
Pala has them in his dust on the cross and convert
2-0
43 - Dreadful performance by our backline there.
Asmalash completely dinked around, and our DCs didn't run back to cover the striker up front
2-1
61 -
Kurt in for
Hoekstra;
de Boer for
Folkers
70 - COME FUCKING ON!
van der Linden for
Asmalash, who has been trash this second half
2-2
81 -
Schut makes a brilliant heading interception of a knockaway on the attempt high ball to
Ahahaoui. He's in the box and defender commits to him. Bad idea. Slip pass ahead to
Pala and the Turk who is turning into the star I projected puts it away!!!!!
3-2
Second straight PotM for
Gokhan Pala at 8.8, fellow striker
Derk Schut grabbing an 8.0, with
Max Oostenrijk the #2 man with 8.2.
Key victory as we're temporarily in 1st, though that falls to 3rd by our next match due to game in hand on 2nd place team and the fact that
Roda '46 has played their game in hand and is a flawless 7-0-0.
vs CSW (4th)

MC: Rodi de Boer/Pascal Hettinga
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Joreilly Chirino/Gokhan Pala
We lost $5.68k last month.
Derk Schut is on the shelf for 4-5 weeks.
25 -
Asmalash hits a high, far, corner and
Ozinga leaps above everyone to head it in. Dude has just been deadly on corners this season
1-0
39 -
Doekhi with a dynamite interception and longball that
Chirino collects. The Curacao man is too quick for everyone and the keeper's shotstop attempt is a lazy one-handed air wave that only bounces the ball into the net
2-0
40 -
Tesselaar makes it look easy, his corner to
Hoekstra resulting in our second CK score by a defender
3-0
49 -
Tesselaar intercepts and to
Hettinga. Wing out to
Doekhi and the cross sees
Pala rise above and head it in to keep this rout going
4-0
52 -
Pala with the gorgeous pass into the box.
Ahahaoui gets there first and centers to
Chirino for the high kick goal
5-0
Best game we've played my entire career here as far as I'm concerned.
Roda '46 drew, putting us 1 point behind them now.
@ SVL (8th)

MC: Max Oostenrijk/Jeoren Folkers
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Joreilly Chirino/Gokhan Pala
14 -
Folkers' pass to
Pala is picked off, but on the ensuing short pass,
Folkers gets it back and delivers the ball through crowded traffic to clean
Pala in the box and the score is in
1-0
21 - Fluke ball bounces off
Hoekstra's back after
Yildirim makes the interception, but
Pakiela still should have stopped that shot
1-1
Kurt on for
Hoekstra at half and I scream at the team because we've been mostly ass.
49 -
Doekhi with the short pass to
Folkers outside the half-circle. He turns around like a dog looking for the right pooping spot before passing to a loosely guarded
Pala. The Turk triumphs.
2-1
57 -
Chirino continues to stink and he's yanked for
Prins. Striker switching.
68 -
Kurt can't control the received corner, so he outlets it back to
Oostenrijk. Center and
Folkers shoots. Defended away.
Ahahaoui is in the crowd to grab it and tap back left to
Folkers. This time there's no stopping him from his first ever Kampong goal!!!
3-1
This was the
Gokhan Pala (9.0 - third straight PotM award) and
Jeoren Folker (8.8) Show. Everyone else need not apply.
Dutch Cup is up next against a Topklasse team (2 levels above IIRC). No way we win there, so I might just summarize it.
