AGOVV Apeldoorn v Omniworld (2-2)
A small blue/white styled ground with plenty of cover - needed on this evening as it was raining.
There were not too many away fans and a limited number of home 'ultras' watching as botttom of the table Omniworld benefited from home errors to take a two goal lead.
Dennis Wise lookalike, and AGOVV captain, Martens had looked dangerous and it was his left wing crosses that allowed sub. Bokila to score one and make the second and equalising goal.
In Belgium for :- Olympic Charleroi 1 FC (Molenbeek) Brussels 3
Plenty of terraces at Olympic's ground - not too far from the more famous Sporting Charleroi stadium. Again the rain came down.
Molenbeek brought a decent number of fans and their team won this one convincingly enough.
They caused the home team plenty of problems especially Sonogo , Matumona and Eale in attack. For the ageing, though still looking fit, Toni Brogno - the game passed him by.
The away side were three up before Olympic pulled back a consolation and though they had some pressure near the end it was a comfortable win for the team from the capital.
later the same day :- Excelsior Mouscron 4 AA Gent 2
Top of the 1st league table Excelsior kept their position with a well controlled win over AA.
Impressive striker Ouali got three and made the other.
Gent were better in the second with the substitutions made by coach Preud'homme capitalising on some Excelsior complacency and later edginess with Oulafade getting two back.
But the home side were good value for the win. The 6000 or so made for a decent atmosphere though the AA fans were clearly very frustrated with what they witnessed.
Namur 2 Lierse 2
Thankfully a better day for this game and for those involved in the fun runs in the city on the Sunday afternoon.
The Stade Communal hosted a good contingent from Lierse probably comprising more than the home support in this smallish ground near the river.
Namur took the lead , got pegged back by a nice effort from Bojovic and lead again through Benayen who made amends for his earlier penalty miss.
But in the second half, after Namur had a man sent off, Lierse dominated with their extra height eventually paying off - Bojovic again - this time heading the equaliser.
Lastly a Monday night fixture in Almere near to Amsterdam ...
Omniworld 1 Cambuur Leeuwarden 0
In the 'city of the future' the relatively recently created Omniworld (apparently their origins can be traced back to DWS Amsterdam - who I saw draw with Chelsea in October 1968 in the Fairs Cup) played Cambuur in the Mitsubishi Forklift Stadium.
Nearly 2,000 watched amongst which were a small group from Leeuwarden.
It probably would have been a better game had Zeefuik converted an easy chance from a goalie error in the first half. But it took a Wilco Krimp header to decide the game with fifteen minutes remaining.
