Den Bosch to fourth place, Rotterdam to play-offs

Amsterdam - Bloemendaal 2-2
For over nine years, Amsterdam has been on the hunt for a league victory over Bloemendaal, but it failed again in the 97th edition of the Klassieker. The reigning national champions did take a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from the Cassiem brothers, but Marco Miltkau and Elian Mazkour prevented Amsterdam's first win over Bloemendaal since 9 April 2017. A riot ensued in the closing stages, resulting in yellow for Floris Wortelboer and Mustapha Cassiem. Amsterdam did remain without defeat for the fifth time in a row at Wagener Stadium, but had to cede fourth place to Den Bosch. The Boschians won against bottom-placed Hurley and are one point ahead of Amsterdam with two games to go.

Den Bosch - Hurley 5-1
With his seventh hat-trick in his Bosch career, Timo Boers had a major share in Den Bosch's 5-1 win over straggler Hurley. With this number, he equalled Piet-Hein Geeris' club record. Boers also raised his season total to 27 goals, making him top scorer of the Tulp Hoofdklasse, as competitors Struan Walker of Oranje-Rood failed to score. The win lifted cup winners Den Bosch to fourth place, which at the end of the season entitles them to participate in the play-offs. The Boschians are in good form, with the fifth win in the last six league games. Striker Hurley suffered its eighth defeat in the last nine matches. They are one point behind number 11 Laren. On the last round, both clubs meet in a match that will determine which team will be directly relegated.

HDM - Kampong 3-6
Especially before half-time, there was a lot to enjoy for the spectators in The Hague. Eight goals were scored in the first two quarters. At half-time it was 2-6. Jip Janssen was prolific for Kampong twice from a penalty corner. Sander van de Putte, Sander de Wijn, Caspar Dobbelaar and Finn van Bijnen also scored before half-time for the Utrecht formation, which is seventh in the league table. For HDM, Fabian Verzuu scored two goals. Rick van den IJssel set the final score at 3-6. After his goal, Kampong goalkeeper Luis Calzado was shown a yellow card for protesting. HDM could not take advantage of that. Chris Taberima had a fourth goal on his stick, but his drag was cleared out of the goal by the line stop. It was Kampong's third win in a row. HDM suffered its fourth defeat in a row and is still one point ahead of number ten Schaerweijde.

Laren - Rotterdam 1-7
The previous nine matches between Laren and Rotterdam yielded a total of 61 goals and this time too there was plenty of scoring. The visitors won 7-1. Olivier Hortensius and Pepijn van der Heijden each scored two goals for the Rotterdammers, who secured participation in the play-offs with this win. It was Rotterdam's fifth consecutive away win. Laren suffered its ninth defeat in a row and has been waiting for a win for 12 matches. The team is still eleventh with one point ahead of last place Hurley. They meet on the last round.

Oranje-Rood - Schaerweijde 2-0
Leaders Oranje-Rood did not make a misstep in the Tulp Hoofdklasse after losing the cup final last Thursday. In Eindhoven, Schaerweijde was beaten 2-0. Club top scorer Struan Walker failed to score. This time Tijmen Reyenga and Boaz Houben were on the score sheet. It was the sixth home win in a row for the still unbeaten leaders. With this series, the team equalled a club record. Eindhoven managed to win six consecutive home games twice before in the Hoofdklasse: in April-October 2022 and November 2024-April 2025. Oranje-Rood is already unbeaten for 23 league games in a row. Schaerweijde suffered its third defeat in a row. Coach Razwan Ahmed's team is tenth, one point behind HDM, which occupies the safe ninth place.
