FC Volendam

RKAV Volendam will face VV Eemdijk in the first round of the TOTO KNVB Cup. Due to challenges with the lighting at the RKAV Volendam complex and to strengthen the increasingly intensive cooperation between FC Volendam & RKAV Volendam, this match will be played in the Kras Stadium. The kick-off is on Wednesday, November 1 at 8:00 PM. While FC Volendam still has to wait a while for its first cup appearance this season, on November 16 against Excelsior Maassluis, the Volendam neighbors will start in the cup tournament during the regular midweek. In the preliminary rounds of the TOTO KNVB Cup, RKAV Volendam, coached by former FC Volendam (assistant) coach Berry Smit, successively defeated SV Nieuwkoop (0 – 2) and Westlandia (3 – 0). The Kras Stadium is the setting for the first round in the main tournament, where they will supposedly meet VV Eemdijk. The team from Spakenburg, which, like RKAV Volendam, plays in the Third Division, defeated the amateurs from Bunde (5 – 0) and Harkemase Boys (3 – 2). FC Volendam is happy to be able to help neighbor RKAV Volendam and, in the context of the increasingly intensive cooperation, sees this as a great opportunity to complete this cup match on a beautiful stage.

Cup match RKAV Volendam against VV Eemdijk in Kras Stadium

Feyenoord suffered its first defeat in the competition four days after the impressive home victory in the Champions League over Lazio (3-1). FC Twente, which had last lost at home to the Rotterdam team in the 2017/2018 relegation season and then drew three times, beat the defending champions 2-1 in Enschede.

Manfred Ugalde put the Tukkers ahead with his second competition goal of the season, after which Ricky van Wolfswinkel made it 2-0 ten minutes before the end. Lutsharel Geertruida’s 2-1 came too late for Feyenoord to turn the tide. For the Rotterdam team, who lost third place in the rankings to Twente, it was only the second defeat in 37 Premier League matches.
