Boris Burkhardt reaches 100-goal mark for Amsterdam

Burkhardt converted a penalty stroke against Laren and scored two field goals. His second goal of the afternoon - the 3-0 in the 25th minute after a beautiful assist from Mirco Pruyser - was an anniversary goal: his 100th in the Hoofdklasse.

Burkhardt scored all his 101 goals as an Amsterdam player. Only seven players of the club preceded him in this. South African penalty-corner canon Justin Reid-Ross was the last player from the club to break the magic goal barrier.

One hundred goals or more for Amsterdam in the Hoofdklasse

• 217 goals - Mirco Pruyser
• 212 goals - Taco van den Honert
• 173 goals - Marten Eikelboom
• 169 goals - Taeke Taekema
• 120 goals - Patrick Faber
• 105 goals - Justin Reid-Ross (ZAf)
• 104 goals - Norbert van der Berg
• 101 goals - Boris Burkhardt

Burkhardt is also in excellent form this season: after five match rounds, his tally already stands at 11 goals. Since German goal scoring machine Christopher Zeller in 2006-2007, no player has managed to score more than 10 goals in the first five games.

Back then, Zeller even produced 16 goals in five matches for Bloemendaal and finished the season with a staggering total of 47 goals. This still makes the German goalscorer the most prolific foreigner in one premier league season.
