Eindhoven draw with Emmen 1-1. Emmen got what they came for last night, a highly desirable un point  to secure a place in the end of season playoffs. They could have left empty-handed if Eindhoven's Helmi Mihci had not missed as many chances as he, so obligingly, did. Ismail Ayazthe score for Eindhoven with his very 1st goal of the season, rounding off Van Kallen's cross (after his teammate had made an impressive 50 meter solo-run down the right flank). 2 minutes into the 2nd half Dennis Iliohan sprang higher than his direct opponent and headed in from 20 meters. Eindhoven's top scorer Helmi Mihci should have made it 2-1 a few minutes later but his pathetic lob lacked accuracy.
