Two penalty conversions rescued a draw for SC Telstar, making Koeman Jr. his club's season top scorer.

Overview

  • Ronald Koeman Jr., a 31-year-old goalkeeper for SC Telstar, converted two penalties in a single Eredivisie match versus Cambuur to level the score and secure a 2-2 draw.
  • His first penalty came after about the 63rd minute and his second was struck in the 90+11th minute, with both finishes described as decisive by match reports.
  • Telstar were playing with ten men from the start and trailed by two goals around the hour mark before Koeman Jr.'s penalty conversions sparked the comeback.
  • Local reporting says the brace made Koeman Jr. the club's leading scorer for the season and that he became the first goalkeeper in Eredivisie history to score a two-goal brace.
