FC Volendam vs Telstar

Telstar pulled off a stunning late escape at Kras Stadion, winning 2-1 away at FC Volendam thanks to a last-gasp penalty from Ronald Koeman Jr. in the 89th minute that shattered the hosts' survival hopes. Anthony Descotte had given Volendam a perfect start, finishing off a Juninho Bacuna assist in the 4th minute. Telstar levelled just before the break when Danny Bakker met a Jeff Hardeveld cross with a powerful header in the 45th minute. With the score locked at 1-1, a VAR review in the 86th minute awarded Telstar a late spot kick. Koeman Jr. — netting his first goal of the season — kept his nerve, then picked up a yellow card for whipping off his shirt in celebration. Despite dominating possession at 55% and earning five corners, FC Volendam are left in deep trouble in 16th place after failing to grab the win they desperately needed. Telstar, now safely out of danger, can breathe easy heading into the summer.
