Rotterdam laat dure punten liggen

As in the previous four editions, 44th meeting between the two teams also guaranteed goals. After four quarters, six goals had been scored, divided fairly between Rotterdam and Amsterdam 🥵.

The visitors took the lead through Mustapha Cassiem, but Rotterdam fought back through Bouwe Buitenhuis (1-1). Boris Burkhardt put Amsterdam ahead again with a hit penalty corner, his 24th of the season. Thijs van Dam single-handedly turned the deficit into a lead, whose equaliser came from a penalty corner. But the last word went to Amsterdam, which managed to salvage a point through Thije Harm in the closing stages: 3-3.

The draw damaged Rotterdam's chances of winning the play-offs. They are now three points behind number four Kampong. Moreover, Oranje-Rood passed the Rotterdammers in the rankings 😕.
