The Amsterdam giants came into this match on the back of an impressive three-match winning streak in the league.
De Joden commenced proceedings at home in a lively manner and put consistent pressure on the visiting side’s defensive line. However, they failed to convert their opportunities.
Dmitry Bulykin fired wide of the target from close range after receiving a good ball from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Janssen-c34871’s free-kick wide, much to the dismay of the Amsterdammers head coach, Frank de Boer.

Ebecilio scored a screamer in the 89th minute to double his side’s advantage. Two minutes into the injury time, Theo Janssen played a nice ball forward that found the 20-year-old forward, who completed his hat-trick with ease after going one-on-one
with the visiting side’s goalkeeper.
