Amsterdam had to continue the chance after a coincidence against Den Bosch on Saturday, but Run with the points (1-2) in the first topper of this season. That then caused a bright smile from Captain Freeke Moes, who enjoyed the fighting spirit of her team. On the Bossche side, Joosje Burg complained about the sea of missed opportunities.
Moes handed out signatures to the Bossche fans with a big smile afterwards. The Amsterdam captain saw how her team struggled in the final phase. It became exciting. They pressed. Was it good that we won? Especially in the beginning they were dominant. But we forced it by working hard. ‘
‘Anne [Veenendaal] was fantastic keeper. We survived the 1-1 draw. That we were able to persist, says something about our perseverance. This makes me proud. Defensively we were much better than last week against Hurley. And those counters were very nice, right? That speed and character, that is Amsterdam. ‘
Amsterdam took the lead after just under half an hour on Saturday through a goal from the American teenager Reese d’Ariano. Against the expectation, as Den Bosch was by far the better team. The equalizer of Tantje de Wit, in quarter three, was completely justified. Just when the home team was about to strike, Amsterdam squeezed another attack. Newcomer Trijntje Beljars declared the judgment about the national champion.
Burg about the rain of opportunities for Den Bosch
“We really had many opportunities,” Joosje Burg emphasized afterwards. “We certainly didn’t have to lose this competition. This was certainly not necessary. I really thought we would make it. We have done everything well, except scoring goals. That must improve. “With a sour smile:” So that’s fun training work, I think. “
Den Bosch has far fewer newcomers than Amsterdam, but that does not mean that nothing has changed at the champion. Interests Emma Reijnen and Laura Nunnink have eliminated injuries. “We lost our ashes. That places many players in a different position. But that doesn’t mean you have to lose. And certainly not with the game we shown today. ‘
