EHL: Telgenkamp brilliance opens up small lead for Amsterdam – EHL

AH&BC Amsterdam opened up a gap on the competition on the eighth matchday. The league leaders won the top match against Oranje-Rood in Eindhoven on Sunday (2-3), 

Two pieces of Duco Telgenkamp magic – the second with mere seconds remaining – saw AH&BC Amsterdam create a two-point lead at the top of the men’s Hoofdklasse.

It helped them defeat Oranje-Rood 3-2 and move two points ahead of Den Bosch after eight rounds of matches.

It was a bitter pill to swallow for Oranje-Rood, who led 2-1 until eight minutes from time. Floris Middendorp’s early corner hit had Amsterdam one ahead but Borja Lacalle’s thunderous reverse and a Jaïr van der Horst goal swapped things around before half-time

But then Telgenkamp summoned an outrageous individual goal to make it 2-2 and then won it with the very last touch before the final hooter.

Den Bosch drew 2-2 at Bloemendaal to drop back two points from the leaders while Oranje-Rood are in third place, three off the pace now. The top three had entered the weekend level.

Bloemendaal remain in fourth one ahead of Kampong who also drew 3-3 with hdm, salvaging a point with a 57^th minute Jip Janssen equaliser.
