Decisive figure drives Volendam past Utrecht | OneFootball

Bradley Kuwas swung the contest in the 10th minute with an assist, then added the second before the break, as Volendam beat Utrecht 2-1.

The forward first created the opener, teeing up Joel Ideho (10.). He then provided the cushion with a clinical finish for Volendam's second (42.).

Kuwas' end product matched his all-round work. He scored with his only attempt, created one chance, and won possession five times, a blend that kept attacks alive and disrupted Utrecht's rhythm. He also completed 12 successful passes in the final third, repeatedly connecting moves around the box.

That mix of risk and reliability high up the pitch let Volendam progress quickly through Kuwas, who held the ball under pressure and drew fouls, while his two aerial wins offered an outlet when they went longer.

Volendam rise from 16th to 15th. They visit Ajax next in the Eredivisie, while Utrecht face KRC Genk in the UEFA Europa League.
