Roda JC’s Harm van Veldhoven delighted with the 4-1 win over ADO Den Haag – Eredivisie news
Roda JC Kerkrade manager Harm van Veldhoven has praised his side’s efforts following an impressive 4-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Sunday, October 16.
De Koempels conceded a goal in the opening minute through Tjarron Chery. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pawel-Kieszek-c29562, and Chery intercepted the pass with ease before hitting the back of the net from eight yards out.
Fifteen minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sanharib-Malki-c32495 did well to convert Ruud Vormer’s cross to level the score-line 1-1.
Van Veldhoven revealed that after conceding an early goal, his side put immense pressure and pushed the visitors well back in their own half.
“We were immediately down by one goal, and then you have to hit the turnaround button as quickly as possible. We put consistent pressure and pushed ADO well back. After fifteen minutes, it was 1-1. I am not sure that ADO put us in trouble again”, the Belgian
trainer was quoted as saying to the media.
The outfit from Kerkrade played aggressive football and created plenty of opportunities in the opening half. However, the score line stayed intact for remainder of the half.
In the second period, the home side dominated proceedings right from the start. But the goal didn’t come until 20 minutes into the half, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mitchell-Donald-c26101 struck to make it 2-1.
Hempte, then, made up for his earlier mistake when his cross found Malki’s header in the 78th minute to make the score line read 3-1. Vormer made it 4-1 in the injury time, sealing the game in favour of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375
Van Veldhoven was understandably pleased with the turnaround his team had produced, speaking to the media afterwards, he said:
“After the goal by Donald Mitchell, we were back stronger. We sometimes played sloppy football, but we consistently put pressure. We created opportunities to enforce and emerge victorious by the end of the match.”
The three points ensured that Roda JC climb up the league table to occupy the 11th spot with four wins from nine matches. On the other hand, ADO drop down to 14th place in the Eredivisie table, five points clear from the danger zone.
