Koeman Jr Becomes First Eredivisie Goalkeeper to Score Twice

Two penalty conversions rescued a point for 10-man Telstar, signalling renewed momentum for the newly promoted side.

Overview

  • Telstar goalkeeper Ronald Koeman Jr scored two penalties to force a 2-2 draw with Cambuur on Sunday, September 6, 2026.
  • The hosts played more than an hour with ten men after Nokkvi Thorisson was sent off in the 22nd minute and trailed 2-0 early in the second half.
  • Koeman Jr calmly converted spot-kicks in the 63rd minute and again in the 101st minute of stoppage time to complete the comeback and become the first keeper to score twice in a single Eredivisie game.
  • He is Telstar’s designated penalty taker and said he ignored opposition mind games before both kicks, raising his career total to three goals, all scored for Telstar in 2026.
  • The point moves Telstar into the early-season mid-table and gives the promoted club a confidence boost before a congested run of fixtures.
