Struan Walker torments Pinoké in 6-1 win over Oranje-Rood
Following in the footsteps of the ladies, Pinoké's men's side also suffered a defeat. Leaders Oranje-Rood were too strong for the Steekneuzen by as much as 6-1 at the Amsterdamse Bos on Saturday night. Struan Walker was the big scourge with three goals. The top scorer of the Tulp Hoofdklasse thus tallied up his total to 22 goals.
PINOKÉ - ORANGE-ROOD 1-6
Despite the big defeat, Pinoké is still third, but in the battle for a spot in the play-offs, the team is feeling the pressure of the competition. Kasper Vrolijk's team gained just one point from the last three matches.
The first encounter earlier this season ended in 2-2, after Oranje-Rood lost a 2-0 lead. This time, the still unbeaten frontrunner left no doubt who took the three points: 6-1.
Besides Walker, who scored three times, Jelle Galema, the opening goal after six minutes, Tijmen Reyenga and Henrik Mertgens were also prolific for Oranje-Rood. Miles Bukkens made it 2-1 with his fourteenth goal, but Pinoké got no further.
For Pinoké it meant the first home defeat since 24 November 2024. Oranje-Rood is now unbeaten for twenty league games in a row.
