Den Bosch claim victory, Kampong suffer defeat

Amsterdam – Den Bosch 0–2

In a repeat of last season’s Dutch Championship final, Den Bosch secured the win. The visitors, who were without Pien Sanders and Joosje Burg, among others, sealed the match after the break, despite the home side having the upper hand in the first two quarters. 25 seconds after the restart, Den Bosch took the lead through a goal from Frédérique Matla. It was already her tenth goal of the season. Moreover, she has now scored for Den Bosch in eleven consecutive match rounds of the Staatsloterij Hoofdklasse. During that run, Matla scored no fewer than twenty goals. Charlotte Englebert sealed the final score at 2-0. For the fourth time at home, Amsterdam failed to secure a win against Den Bosch and suffered their first league defeat of the season. Den Bosch, who have kept a clean sheet in their last four match rounds, remain top of the table with a maximum haul of fifteen points after five match rounds.

SCHC – Hurley 2–1

Like Den Bosch, SCHC remain unbeaten after five rounds. The second-placed side in the Staatsloterij Hoofdklasse won 2-1 at home against Hurley. Both of SCHC’s goals were scored by Yibbi Jansen, taking her season tally to ten goals. Furthermore, Jansen is now SCHC’s all-time top scorer in matches against Hurley, with seventeen goals. Hurley is certainly Jansen’s favourite opponent. She has already scored 25 goals against the team from the Amsterdamse Bos. Thanks to this victory, SCHC are now unbeaten in 41 consecutive regular league matches. Hurley suffered their second defeat of the season and dropped from fourth to fifth place.

Rotterdam – Kampong 2–0

Rotterdam had to wait a long time for it, but after thirteen Hoofdklasse matches, the team have beaten Kampong again. The 2-0 win marked their first victory since 25 October 2009, when they beat Kampong 3-2. This time, Rotterdam took the lead after just five minutes. Biba Mills scored from a penalty corner, after which, in the fourth quarter, Niamh Carey doubled the lead, also from a corner. The win saw Rotterdam rise from sixth to fourth place. Kampong suffered their second defeat of the season. The Utrecht side dropped from fifth to sixth place. Furthermore, it brought an end to a run of forty consecutive away matches in the Staatsloterij Hoofdklasse in which the team had scored. The last away match without a goal was on 12 November 2022 at Den Bosch (4–0).

Victoria – Pinoké 0–5

With three goals, Maria Steensma played a major part in Pinoké’s 5-0 victory over Victoria. Her hat-trick took her league goal tally for Pinoké to 36, making her Pinoké’s new all-time top scorer in the Staatsloterij Hoofdklasse. The previous record was held by Kari Stam, who scored 34 goals. The victory in Rotterdam was Pinoké’s first away win since their 0–3 victory over Tilburg on 26 April. The three points moved Pinoké up to seventh place. Newly promoted Victoria remain without any points after five league matches. The team has now lost nine league matches in a row in the Staatsloterij Hoofdklasse. They have also conceded at least one goal in 29 consecutive league matches, equalling a negative club record from the period 1994–2004.

Bloemendaal – HDM 1–0

A goal from a penalty corner by Ankelein Baardemans proved decisive in the match against HDM. This secured the team’s first win of the season. Moreover, it was their first home win in a year. Bloemendaal’s last victory at ’t Kopje came on 18 October 2025, when they beat Tilburg 4-1. Bloemendaal swapped places in the league table with HDM, who suffered their fourth defeat of the season. Bloemendaal moved up from tenth to ninth place and HDM dropped from ninth to tenth.

Oranje-Rood – HGC 2–1

Despite securing their second win of the season, Oranje-Rood dropped one place to eighth. It was Oranje-Rood’s first home win against HGC since 3 November 2019, when the final score was 5-0. Who else but Charlotte Schrijvers opened the scoring for the Eindhoven side. Schrijvers has now scored five goals for Oranje-Rood, whilst Thirsa Kho also found the net from a penalty corner. Zoë Admiraal scored for HGC. Like bottom-of-the-table Victoria, HGC have yet to pick up a single point this season.
