Elroy Tuur, the ironclad defender of Ajax C3, had to leave the field by stretcher in the 60th minute of the match after an unfortunate collision and he was transported from the Herdgang by ambulance with neck injuries to the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery!
The match between PSV C2 and AJAX C3 was played at the cutting edge, without the game ever becoming mean. PSV C2 opened strongly and in the tenth minute it was almost a goal when Jorrit Hendrix headed against the post from a well-cut free kick by Michael Maria. Many fierce duels were fought, with the PSV players usually coming out victorious. In the 20th minute there was a fine action by Olivier Rommens, but again just short of a goal. Ten minutes before half time Vinnie Vermeer is put alone in front of the AJAX C3 goalkeeper by Endy Opoku Bernadina after a good attack over many sections, but also his effort unfortunately does not hit the target. In the last minute of the first half Ajax C3 did something back, but Jeroen Meurs saved with his feet.
In the second half the same picture. The players fight for every meter and the effort is admirable. PSV C2 remains the most attacking side, but the good goalkeeper of Ajax C3 knows what to do with the high efforts of PSV C2 time after time. A few good chances were also killed off. In the fiftieth minute of the match, Ajax C3 came close to scoring a goal, but fortunately the ball went wide of the PSV C2 goal. Players on both sides get injured and are forced to leave the field. AJAX C3 appears to have run out of substitutes and in the last ten minutes, even the reserve goalkeeper of AJAX C3 comes into the field for the unfortunate Elroy Tuur. PSV C2 continues to chase victory, but AJAX C3 manages to pull out a draw (0-0).
