Ole Romeny struck first for FC Emmen in the 63rd minute, then Ole Romeny added another in the 71st minute In the end, Excelsior was frustrated by FC Emmen’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.

They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while 6th placed Sparta Rotterdam is fresh off their 3-1 win against Vitesse. Alois Oroz struck first for Vitesse in the 7th minute, then Arno Verschueren tied it up for Sparta Rotterdam in the 11th minute on a feed from Vito van Crooy Finally they completed the comback victory in the 45th minute on a goal by Koki Saito to cap off a wild match.
