Match Report
NEC Nijmegen rescued a point but were left frustrated by a 1-1 draw against Telstar at the Goffertstadion. The drama peaked in stoppage time when a potential winner from Youssef El Kachati was ruled out for offside, denying the hosts all three points.
Sem van Duijn gave Telstar a shock lead on 32 minutes despite NEC controlling 70% of possession and firing off 21 shots to their opponents' 10. Tjaronn Chery finally levelled on 85 minutes — assisted by Danilo — sparking a frantic finale with seven minutes of added time.
The result stings for NEC Nijmegen, who sit third and are chasing Champions League qualification — dropping points against a relegation-threatened side is a costly slip. For Telstar, rooted in 16th place, a hard-earned point away from home could yet prove vital in their bid to stay up.
