Match report
Dordrecht and Almere City produced a match that swung from one end to the other at the 8th round of the Eerste Divisie on Friday evening. The hosts took a three-goal lead before Almere City fought back to claim a 3:2 victory in the dying moments.
Olivier de Nijs opened the scoring in the tenth minute, and Beni Christophe Mpanzu doubled the advantage by the twenty-second. Stan Henderikx completed a comfortable lead with his goal in the fifty-eighth minute. By then, Dordrecht had worked eight attacks and looked comfortable, though they created no big chances from those efforts.
The momentum shifted after the break. Almere City made three changes at the interval, bringing on Milan de Haan, Byron Burgering and Olivier de Nijs. Joey Jacobs pulled one back in the ninetieth minute, and A. Ouarghi equalised a minute later to complete the comeback.
Here's where the numbers tell a different story. Almere City dominated possession with 59 per cent and registered 140 attacks compared to Dordrecht's 88. Yet both sides registered ten shots each, and neither created a single big chance. The hosts were more accurate with 55 per cent of their shots on target, while Almere City managed just 21 per cent accuracy.
The result leaves Dordrecht rooted in nineteenth place with four points from seven games, while Almere City remain second on sixteen points. The away side had won three of their previous five matches before this setback, while Dordrecht's recent run included five consecutive defeats.
