In a surprising turn of events in the Dutch Keuken Kampioen Divisie, FC Dordrecht convincingly defeated FC Volendam 4-1 at the M-Scores Stadion. The AI prediction favored an FC Volendam win, making this result a significant upset, even though it expected a balanced game. Despite having only 38.9% of the possession, FC Dordrecht proved more clinical, converting their chances effectively with 18 total shots compared to Volendam's 10. Jari Schuurman led the charge with two goals, including an early penalty, while Marouane Afaker and Joep van der Sluijs added to the scoreline. Silvinho Esajas scored Volendam's only goal in the 48th minute, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.
FC Dordrecht's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses and three wins in their last five games, but their home form appears strong, mirroring their recent 4-0 and 3-0 victories.
