Heartbreak for Woud & Almere (4th). Concede in 95th min (last kick of the game) to be held to a 2-2 draw at De Graafschap (2nd).
Massive blow to their chances of automatic promotion with 3 games left (against lower table Jong sides of Ajax, Utrecht & PSV). With a win they would have been only 3 points behind De Graafschap who have a tough road trip to top of the table Cambuur (already clinched the title) next week. So by next weekend they could have been equal on points with De Graafschap, and Almere have a superior points difference. The top 2 get automatic promotion.
Now they are 6 points behind De Graafschap, and need them to lose 2 of their last 3 games.
So highly likely Almere will now be in the lottery of promotion playoffs, which starts with 6 Eerste Divisie teams, then some bottom Eredivisie teams.
So unfortunately todays' draw a massive opportunity lost.
