FC Groningen - Excelsior 3-2


Lovre's winning goal in injury time.


Goran Lovre scored the winning goal in the 95th(!) minute of the game. No goals were scored in the first half but the 2nd half made up for the lack of goals in the first half. Lovre opened the score for the FC in the 58th minute but Excelsior tied the game one minute later. The green and white pride went ahead again on a Berg goal in the 64th minute. Nine minutes later the game was all even once again. Excelsior thought it would travel back to Rotterdam with a point. This was not to be; five minutes into injury time, the FC crossed a ball into the box which was completely missed by the Excelsior defense giving Lovre an unexpected opportunity. He did not hesitate and scored the winning goal giving FC Groningen the full 3 points in front of a sold out Euroborg.
