Almere City gives away victory and is still not completely sure of survival | Football

After a disappointing first half, Kornelius Hansen broke the spell immediately after halftime. The Norwegian attacker finished after a nice through pass from AZ mercenary Peer Koopmeiners. After that, Heerenveen’s pressure increased.

It led to Osame Sahraoui’s equalizer in the final phase. He scored from a difficult angle. Thom Haye could have even given the visitors the win, but he missed a penalty just before the end. Koopmeiners received a red card in extra time.

Despite the loss of points, things have to go very crazy if Almere City wants to get into trouble. The Flevolanders are nine points ahead of RKC Waalwijk, which is in sixteenth place and still has three games to play.

Heerenveen officially still has a chance to participate in the play-offs, although that seems virtually impossible. As number ten, the gap to numbers eight and nine Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles is six points. Heerenveen has a much lower goal difference.

Go Ahead drew 0-0 at Fortuna Sittard on Friday. Attention was mainly focused on the in-form Fortuna striker Kaj Sierhuis, who missed a few opportunities and apparently suffered a serious injury. He left the field in tears.
