Amsterdam took all three points from Fenenadal with a 3-2 win in the Second Division regular season on Saturday. The visitors, sitting sixth with six points, outlasted the hosts who remain winless at the foot of the table. R. Fonseca struck twice for Amsterdam, while D. Gouda and Q. Veenhof responded for the home side.
Amsterdam started brighter, with Fonseca finding the net in the second minute. Gouda equalised quickly enough, but then Slijkhuis restored the visitors' lead before the half. By then Fenenadal were chasing the game, and Fonseca added a second in the 58th to stretch the advantage.
Amsterdam looked comfortable until Veenhof's 71st-minute strike cut the deficit. And here's the thing — the home side pushed for an equaliser but Amsterdam defended resolutely. The visitors made changes to see it out, bringing on A. van Soest and D. Gouda in the closing stages.
Fenenadal had used three substitutions by the final whistle, with F. van der Linden, J. Spies and B. van Essen all coming off the bench. The hosts remain rooted to 17th place after three defeats, while Amsterdam extended their unbeaten run to two matches.
