The Kitchen Champion Division was again marred by a racism incident on Friday evening. FC Dordrecht defender Seydine N’Diaye got into a fight in his own stadium with the away supporters of MVV Maastricht, who racially treated the Frenchman at the end of the game. N’Diaye immediately sought help from the assistant referee and to his surprise was given a yellow card by referee Richard Martens. Then N’Diaye himself sought a confrontation with the perpetrator, whom he pointed to with an accusing finger. The defender wanted to attack the supporter, but was stopped by other players. The game was stopped in the 90th minute and would not be resumed. N’Diaye went home furious, added ESPNpresenter Pascal Kamperman.
FC Dordrecht – MVV Maastricht 3-1
MVV started the game well by quickly taking the lead. Orhan Dzepar reacted alertly by tapping in a low cross from Sven Blummel: 0-1. Stijn Meijer failed to score the equalizer via a penalty, which the Dordrecht striker hit the post, after which Mathis Suray also hit the post moments later. After the break, Dordrecht still made a stunning comeback. From one of the many corner kicks, Zakaria El Azzouzi walked in the 1-1, after which Christian Conteh made it 2-1 after a nice attack. Meijer signed for the curious 3-1 in the final phase, which seemed to be disallowed due to offside, after which the assistant referee pulled his flag down.

In the final phase, the racism incident around N’Diaye followed, after which the match was stopped. The players returned to the field after fifteen minutes and knelt. Martens then whistled immediately before the final whistle. N’Diaye was already gone. Hans Kraay junior takes it in the studio of ESPN up for the victim. “Good for that boy that he leaves home without taking a shower,” said the analyst.
FC Volendam – Helmond Sport 4-1
The leader in the Kitchen Champion Division had already finished the poor Helmond Sport after 45 minutes. Robert Mühren was stabbed by Daryl van Mieghem in minute 8, and then managed to register his 21st of the season in a controlled manner. Two minutes later, Mühren extended a corner from the same Van Mieghem, heading into a goal: 2-0. Gaetano Oristanio, who was hired from Internazionale, pulled in halfway through from the right, and then took care of the 3-0 with the left. Boy Deul was sent away by Mühren shortly before half time and with his hard bang the 4-0 was a fact for the supreme Volendam. After the break, Ilias Breugelmans saved the honor for Helmond Sport.
Almere City FC – VVV-Venlo 0-1
Almere got off to a strong start and claimed the opening goal, including a huge opportunity for Lance Duijvestijn, who did not get the ball in the rebound. An unfortunate own goal by Danny Post, who played no less than eight years for VVV, Almere fell behind: 0-1. Almere striker Jeffry Puriel failed to equalize by shooting goalkeeper Delano van Crooij one-on-one. Jans Arweiler also had huge opportunities, but also shot the Venlo goalie twice from close range.
FC Emmen – Ajax Reserves 2-1
The top teams of the Kitchen Champion Division made it an open game, in which both formations had opportunities. Young Ajax midfielder Youri Regeer saw a striker removed from the line, while Ole Romeny hit the post hard on the other side. On the stroke of half-time, the team from Amsterdam took the lead via Sontje Hansen, who remained cool-blooded in the final round with two opponents in the neck: 0-1.
Emmen fought back quickly after the break and, thanks to a rebound from Reda Karchouch, was level again, after Calvin Raatsie was able to save on a bet by Mart Lieder: 1-1. Huge chances for the 2-1 were then not for Karchouch and Rui-Jorge Mendes, also because Regeer took a ball off the line. Minutes later, Karchouch still managed to tap in, after Raatsie saved on a shot by Mendes: 2-1. Young Ajax had enormous opportunities to take a point, but Michael Brouwer saved on a slip by Kristian Hlynsson, who did not look for the corner enough.
De Graafschap – FC Den Bosch 0-0
De Graafschap needed a victory to be able to reconnect with the top of the rankings and was also emphatically looking for that. However, the Superboers turned out to be unhappy in the finish. For example, a shot by Johnatan Opoku was cracked and the striker headed just over a little later. After the break, Giovanni Korte peered over a falling ball, while Sam Hendriks ruined a promising rebound by shooting goalkeeper Wouter van der Steen. It was not possible for De Graafschap, who in the end thanked his goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus for saving on a shot by Terrence Douglas.
NAC Breda – Young PSV 3-1
The initiative was in Breda for NAC, but the opening goal in the 25th minute for PSV. Jeremy Antonisse finished the first Eindhoven chance with a bang from inside the penalty area: 0-1. Five minutes later, NAC came back via Naouaf Bannis, who was beautifully stabbed by Welat Cagro: 1-1. The home team then got away well when Simon Colyn headed wide just before half-time and Jong PSV also missed a few opportunities in the second half. The people of Breda struck mercilessly through Ralf Seuntjens, who headed in a gossamer cross from Dion Malone: 2-1. In injury time, Kaj de Rooij finished the job for NAC by skilfully passing the ball over Maxime Delanghe who had come out: 3-1.
Excelsior – Roda JC Kerkrade 2-0
Excelsior did not let the grass grow at home against Roda JC, which was plagued by corona problems and had to miss important players. In the eleventh minute, Reuven Niemeijer headed home from a cross by Marouan Azarkan: 1-0. Twelve minutes into the next Rotterdam goal came via Azarkan, who tapped in the rebound after a reversed long shot by Rody de Boer: 2-0. Before the break, Kenzo Goudmijn ruined the chance at 3-0 by not placing the ball next to the Roda keeper. In the second half, Davy van den Berg hit the bar on behalf of Roda with a firm swipe.
Jong AZ – FC Eindhoven 1-3
After Monday against NAC Breda (0-2) another home defeat for the promises of AZ. Almost all goals came after the break. Jasper Dahlhaus already took advantage of negligence in the defense of Jong AZ in the second minute: 0-1. Goalkeeper Sem Westerveld held on to Charles-Andreas Brym shortly after the break, so that the ball hit the spot. Joey Sleegers then made no mistake from eleven meters: 0-2. The home club brought back the tension in minute 61 via the accurate Ernest Poku. Eindhoven, however, did not get confused by that. Valentino Vermeulen scored the 1-3 for the visitors more than ten minutes later.
TOP Oss – Utrecht Young 4-1
TOP Oss had already won the game after 45 minutes. Giovanni Büttner finally had a starting spot again and crowned it with the 1-0 in the eleventh minute. Captain Rick Stuy van den Herik doubled the lead after half an hour, after a fine attack by the home team. Kay Tejan also scored a goal in the 38th minute, after a great cross by Büttner. Jearl Margaritha then determined the halftime score at 4-0 for the unleashed TOP Oss. Mees Rijks did something back for Jong FC Utrecht after the break, but that was only for the statistics.
