Why It Matters
Ronald Koeman Jr. previously scored a decisive penalty in Telstar's final league game last season to help avoid a relegation playoff.
Telstar goalkeeper Ronald Koeman Jr. made Eredivisie history Sunday, scoring two late penalties to complete a 10-man comeback in a 2-2 draw with Cambuur.
Telstar played most of the match short-handed after having a player sent off in the 22nd minute at BUKO Stadion in Velsen-Zuid.
Cambuur took control early in the second half. Rafik El Arguioui scored the opening goal in the 53rd minute, and Nicolas Binder made it 2-0 seven minutes later.
Koeman began the comeback three minutes after Binderโs goal, converting a penalty awarded when Patrick Brouwer was fouled. The goalkeeper returned to the spot in the 101st minute after another penalty was awarded and scored again to secure a point for Telstar.
The 31-year-old became the first goalkeeper to score twice in a single Eredivisie match.
Koeman also delivered from the penalty spot in Telstarโs final league game last season, scoring a decisive goal that helped the club avoid a relegation playoff.
He is the son of former Barcelona and Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman. The elder Koeman resigned from the Dutch national team after its loss to Morocco in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup.
