MC: Jeroen Folkers/Pascal Hettinga
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
We lost to these guys last time, so we really want to beat them and knock them back this go round.
20 - Their passing has been terrible today, and
Pala intercepts to start a counter. At the end,
Ahahaoui is dribbling down the right flank and crosses.
Pala leaps and heads it in despite two defenders, the league's best defense surrendering a rare goal
1-0
53 -
Ahahaoui shifts to AML,
Prins in
76 - GOD DAMN SON OF A BITCH!
1-1

MC: Max Oostenrijk/Pascal Hettinga
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
We're behind by a single damn point again after that draw.
18 - First PK of the year for us, and
Ahahaoui converts.
1-0
46 -
Amalash's cross to
Pala is cleared, but
Ahahaoui runs it down and sends it to the opposite side for
Doekhi to add the insurance just after half
2-0
49 -
Doekhi pops the ball over right to
Ahahaoui and the defender commits, leaving
Schut free to receive the short tap and score
3-0
7.1 or better from everyone but the keeper and
Pala. Advanced too quickly so missed listing the stars, but
Achmed Ahahaoui is PotM with a 9.0.
More importantly, we're back in 1st!
Roda '46 got stunned 0-2 at
Achilles 1894, a same spot we stumbled at.

MC: Jeroen Folkers/Pascal Hettinga
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
ARC and
Roda '46 both drew yesterday, so we have a YUUUUUUUUUUUGE opportunity to put some real distance between us.
12 -
Hettinga flares it out right to
Doekhi for the run and center to
Schut, and there's the boomtown
1-0
36 -
Yildirim throws in to
Hoesktra for the longball to
Pala outside the left edge of the box. There's nobody around him for miles, so the Turk sits and waits. When two defenders finally draw off to challenge him, the center finds
Schut again for goal #2.
2-0
64 - Sloppy free kick defense
2-1
64 -
Yildirim punts it left side to
Pala. Defender knicks it, but lazily backpasses towards the keeper like
Hoekstra did earlier this year.
Schut swoops in for the FIRST HAT-TRICK OF MY TEAM IN THIS UNIVERSE!!!!
3-1
68 >
3-2
71 -
Verweij for
Hoekstra;
de Boer for
Folkers
Obvious PotM is
Derk Schut's 9.7, with
Gokhan Pala picking up a 7.7. We damn near blew that one but are up to a 4 point lead.
Transfer Window Opens
Going Out
DL Tom van der Linden (21) - Alphense Boys
AML Bas Smulders (31) - NIVO (in-division)
DR Arjen "Pigpen" Netjes (21) - ARC (in-division) - $6.5k
DCR Casper van Oosterom (22) - Achilles 1984 (in-division)
It hurts to lose
Pigpen to one of our biggest rivals. The rest of these guys are whatever, and I'm salty
ARC gets to offer actual contracts to people.
Coming In
DC Adil Mahdadi (33) - From Odovo - $95 PA
11 Marking, 12 Tackling, 17 Aggression, 12 Positioning/Jumping Reach/Strength. Battle-hardened veteran signed to a backup deal who could challenge
Robin Hoesktra for a starting spot.
MC Rudo Hidden (29) - From RKAVV - $80 PA
12 First Touch and Technique, 13 Vision. Our central midfielders are actually our weakest spot, so this guy could step in and be a starter next to
Pascal Hettinga for a while.
And then the crown jewel:
$240 every time he steps on the pitch, but I'm dreaming of how great he and
Moreno Doekhi are going to play together.
Achmed Ahahaoui is still phenomenal, but you can see him losing a couple steps every now and again - besides, he wants to leave for a bigger club, and now I have my insurance.
Transfer In - DR Jamie Jailens (29) - From Campelle - $85 PA
Just a really solid all-around fullback who can spell
Asmalash
vs DOSKO (14th)
G: Bartek Pakiela
D: Ertunc Yildirim/Adhil Mahdadi/Patrick Ozinga/Jamie Jaliens
MC: Pascal Hettinga/Rudio Hidden
AMLR: Moreno Doekhi/Tiago Faria da Silva
ST: Derk Schut/Gokhan Pala
2 -
Doekhi jacks it long to
Pala and the cross to
Schut is easy
1-0
10 -
Yildirim throw in to
Hettinga, blastball to
Pala, and on the cross, the defenders actually sag off
Schut. Say hi to our two-year team captain scoring his 15th of the season
2-0
23 -
Hidden taps to
Schut, wing out right to isolated
da Silva and the cross to
Pala = debut assist!
3-0
25 -
Doekhi taps back to
Hettinga, center to
Hidden, and the box feed to
Pala means two debut assists, each to our Turk!
4-0
69 -
Hoekstra for
Mahdadi after a goal given up
4-1
Pretty debut.
Hedzer Prins (24) wants out, so he gets a free release.
Bastin Verweij (33) leaves as well, to
Elinkwijk. That's 6 so far who have left this transfer window.
Make that 7.
Jerrold van Eeckhout (27) also packs his bags, for
NVC.
Disappointed to lose Prins, but it is what it is.
