Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer set a record in the Eredivisie on Wednesday night, as Voetbal International reports. In the match against FC Utrecht, the 41-year-old keeper was credited with an own goal, making him the oldest player ever to do so in the Dutch league.
Domstedelingen’s Yoann Cathline smashed the post with a rock-hard shot just over ten minutes from time, yet the ball ricocheted rather unkindly and struck the back of Pasveer to find the net.
As a result, the Ajax goalkeeper is now the oldest player ever in the Eredivisie to have scored an own goal.
Although the Amsterdam club managed to hold on to pull a 2-2 draw out of the fire in their own Johan Cruyff Arena, in a solid second-half showing, it was admittedly Ron Jans’ team that perhaps deserved the win.
