Emmen made ammends this evening for last week's 7-1 defeat against Den Haag by beating Telstar 2-0 and reducing the gap with Eerste Divisie  leaders Heracles to 1 point. After Emmen had taken the lead via Junqueira in the 20th minute, Telstar should have at least drawn level as Emmen were reduced to 10 men (Rutger Feijer red-card) and they were awarded a penalty. However, Pascal Averdijk's spot shot sailed wide of goal and Telstar were seldom seen on Emmens half again.
In the 60th minute Bas Sibum put the final score on the board.
