Tilburg ladies stunt against Amsterdam, HDM men win again

Ladies: Amsterdam - Tilburg 2-3
The previous edition of this matches already yielded a surprising 3-3, but this time Tilburg even walked away with the victory. Five minutes before time, Carmen Victoria scored the winning goal for the Brabanders, who turned a 2-1 deficit after half-time. Amsterdam, who had to make do without Sabine Plönissen, Stella van Gils, Felice Albers and Noa Muller, faced a deficit after only five minutes through a goal by Precious Oud. In the second quarter, Marijn Veen levelled the score again and debutant Ellemijn Harm put Amsterdam ahead. After half-time, Tilburg struck. First Iris Dominicus equalised, then Victoria decided the game and finally helped Tilburg get rid of the hateful zero. This also ended a run of five consecutive defeats in the Tulp Hoofdklasse. For Amsterdam, it marked the second home defeat in a row, something the club had not experienced for 11 years. In October 2014, Laren (1-4) and Den Bosch (1-4) were the last teams to pull that trick. Striking detail: it was the fourth time in a row that Amsterdam suffered three goals against in a home match (0-3 against Pinoké, 4-3 against Hurley, 2-3 against Kampong and now 2-3 against Tilburg).
