Feyenoord keep lead with late point at Utrecht

Xinhua, November 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

Dutch league leaders Feyenoord salvaged one point at FC Utrecht on Sunday (3-3) after a dramatic final phase of the match.

Sebastien Haller gave Utrecht an early lead, but Feyenoord captain Dirk Kuyt produced an early equalizer. After half-time, Giovanni Troupee and Haller earned Utrecht a 3-1 advantage, but the visitors managed to bounce back once again.

Nicolai Jorgensen scored in the 90th minute, and nine minutes into injury-time substitute Michiel Kramer prevented a defeat with a header at the second post. Kramer's goal was the latest goal in the Eredivisie since 1956. The long injury-time was given due to a pause for a head injury for Utrecht goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter, who was stretchered off the field.

Earlier on Sunday, Ajax also showed up late to secure a 1-0 victory at sc Heerenveen. Ajax coach Peter Bosz substituted Hakim Ziyech for Donny van de Beek, and the 19-year-old midfielder played a decisive role. With a fine pass, Van de Beek provided the assist on Davu Klaassen's winning goal in the 71st minute.

Also on Sunday, AZ crushed Heracles Almelo 5-1 in Alkmaar. Robert Muhren scored two times for the home team.

On Saturday, PSV prevented a deeper crisis. The reigning champions beat ADO Den Haag 3-1 in Eindhoven. Gaston Pereiro opened the scoring with a penalty, and with his goal ended a draught of eight missed penaltys in a row for PSV.

In addition, striker Luuk de Jong ended a period of 635 Eredivisie minutes without a goal. On a cross by Oleksandr Zinchenko, he scored with his back in the 50th minute and five minutes later he chipped in another goal. Tom Beugelsdijk scored the only ADO goal from the penalty spot.

After 14 match rounds, Feyenoord lead the Eredivisie with 33 points, as much as Ajax, but the Rotterdam-based side has a slightly better goal difference. Endit
