0-1
5 -
Netjes throws in to
Pala and a defender is tight on the Turk for a dribble down the left flank, but when his man steps off, Pala hoofs the ball into the box, where
Schut shoots past everyone to tap the immediate answer in
1-1
16 -
Ahahaoui fetches a loose ball and his high drop into the box sees
Schut -just- beat the keeper in the race to open-net score
2-1
31 -
Yildirim throws in to
Schut, gets it back, and hits the perfect center on
Pala's left side with two defenders on the right. Wham-bam-thanks for the Turk's 10th goal-ma'am!
3-1
47 -
Hoesktra master-level interception and header to
Pala. Pass to
Schut and on the moonbeam launch down the field,
Pala beats everyone, gets into the box, and lofts a ball over the keeper's head and into the net. WOW, that was pretty!
4-1
62 -
Verweij for
Ozinga who got hurt, and
Folkers for
Hettinga

This is it. The Big One. They drew last game, so a win here puts us in 1st by a single point.

Asmalash makes a leaping, twisting interception that has the crowd roaring on its feet because it came out of nowhere! The header flies to
Pala who belts the bejesus out of the ball to the box.
Schut's old man body still torches the defense and has a 1v1 with the keeper and he wins!!! Pandemonium!!!
1-0
58 -
de Boer on for
Oostenrijk;
Ahahaoui switches to AML and
Prins comes in at AMR. It's been a terrible night for our midfield, so maybe shaking things up will light a fire.
Derk Schut's 7.6 is good enough for PotM as we steal this win and go up to 1st!!! It's their first loss of the season.
@ NIVO (10th)

18 seconds - On the opening kickoff,
Doekhi dribbles forward and towards the sideline, drawing defenders with him. The ground cross sees a defender miss his interception and
Ahahaoui puts it in for what I think is the fastest score yet!
1-0
11 -
Doekhi centers to
Hettinga. Pass is to
Ahahaoui in the half-circle and he taps it to
Schut for the shocking mid-range strike that sings home!
2-0
43 -
Schut's free kick just past midfield soars into the box,
Hettinga's head smashing it in and our opponents just look totally demoralized.
3-0
Verweij slots in for
Kurt at half, as the latter's been playing dangerously and should have been red-carded out.
And yes that 18 second goal is a team and league record. Not bad for a 32 year old.
We're just past the halfway mark and this is how tight the table between the 3 elite teams. While we just knocked off one, we've our second match against
ARC next and can flip this into a two-team race with a win.
