Overview

• Almere City led 2-0 after Junior Kadile’s deflected strike on 71 minutes and a headed finish from former Vitesse defender Enzo Cornelisse on 81 minutes.
• Byron Burgering entered around the hour for Almere City, immediately forced a strong save, and delivered the cross for Cornelisse’s goal.
• Marco Schikora cut the deficit to 2-1 from a free-kick routine before João Pinto struck deep into added time to level for Vitesse.
• Kadile had an early finish disallowed for handball as Almere controlled long stretches before failing to close out the match at Yanmar Stadion.
• Jeroen Rijsdijk made four starting changes from the previous loss to Helmond Sport, and the draw leaves Vitesse on 11 points from eight games but still bottom due to a 12-point deduction.
