A week which saw Pierre van Diemen make his 150th appearance ended with a victory which left Totaalvoetbal ever closer to a second RM Invitational crown.
The striker’s landmark game came against AFC Stanley and his late penalty would gain his side a vital point in their title quest. Matts Wallman had put Stanley in front early only for Miquel Oriol to power home a header on 34 minutes for the Oranje. However, it would be the hosts who would hold a half-time lead; in a calamitous couple of minutes for Totaal, Bosse Bong would be carried off with his second serious injury of the season before Takuboku Yojimbo shot home to put Stanley in front.
Totaal would show great resolve in the second-half, though, and, after Stanley suffered injury heartache of their own, they would grab a late leveller. Of course it would be left to van Diemen to slot home from the spot which allowed him to celebrate with his adoring travelling support.
Totaalvoetbal would then follow this performance up with a somewhat nervy home victory over Flare United. In a match of few chances Totaal would be grateful for the free-kick expertise of Antonello Ballarin who curled home the winner on 28 minutes. Flare would hold no prisoners with their tackling but would not be able to find a cutting edge and Totaal would take the points.
