FC Volendam vs Fortuna Sittard

Mohammed Ihattaren delivered a first-half masterclass as Fortuna Sittard earned a 2-1 away win over FC Volendam at the Kras Stadion. The playmaker laid on both goals before limping off injured early in the second half, capping a display that earned him the Player of the Match award. Paul Gladon headed home from an Ihattaren corner in the 19th minute to open the scoring. Dimitris Limnios doubled the lead with another header just before the break (43'), as the visitors took complete control of the first half. Volendam came out firing after half-time, dominating possession at 61%, and substitute Robert Muhren pulled one back in the 80th minute. But keeper Luuk Koopmans stood firm with four saves to deny the hosts a late equaliser. The win lifts Fortuna Sittard to 11th on 35 points, while FC Volendam remain stuck in 14th with 27 — a frustrating afternoon for the home faithful.
