Matla’s remarkable scoring streak comes to an end

Matla began her run in the second half of last season with a goal in the away match against Pinoké (1–3) on 28 March. This was followed by goals in each of the final five match rounds of the regular season. After eight match rounds this season, her tally already stood at twenty league goals.

On Thursday evening in Eindhoven, for the first time in a long while, she failed to add to that tally. Although Den Bosch won 0-1 against Oranje-Rood (goal by Charlotte Englebert), Matla went a match round without scoring for the first time in fifteen match rounds.

Joint sixth in the all-time rankings
With her run of fourteen consecutive matches scoring, Matla has once again secured a high position in the all-time rankings of the Hoofdklasse Women. Only two players have ever achieved longer runs: Maartje Paumen (playing for Den Bosch) and Lisanne Lejeune (HGC). The latter holds the all-time record, having scored in twenty consecutive match rounds. That was in the 1986–1987 season.

Matla herself had previously achieved a longer run. Her personal record stands at eighteen consecutive match rounds with at least one goal, from the 2021–2022 season. This means she now holds two of the longest scoring runs in the history of the women’s league.
