Heracles has been relegated from the Eredivisie after three years, with FC Volendam dealing the final blow. The team of Ernest Faber lost 0-2 to FC Volendam and can no longer hold on to their place in the Eredivisie. The difference between Heracles Almelo and sixteenth place on the ranking is now unbridgeable, with eleven points and only three games left to play. After three seasons at the highest level, the Almelo team is returning to the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. In the final phase, the match was temporarily suspended after disappointed supporters threw fireworks onto the field. Heracles supporters also attacked each other with fireworks. The team of Ernest Faber has won only once in the last eighteen games. Even against low-flying Volendam, Heracles could not achieve much. The fact that the two teams do not overflow with quality was evident in the first half hour of the game. There were hardly any chances to be noted. Just before half time, both teams had a great opportunity. First, it was Sem Scheperman who headed the ball past goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen, but the Heracles striker had not taken into account Henk Veerman. The Volendam striker prevented the opening goal by heading the ball off the goal line. Then Heracles' own goalkeeper, Remko Pasveer, was grateful that the team did not fall behind. The 42-year-old goalkeeper made an excellent save on a header from Anthony Descotte. After the break, the crowd in Almelo had to watch as Descotte was on target. The striker could shoot against Pasveer after a long ball, initially hitting the goalkeeper, but in the rebound, it was a goal. Fans covered their faces, the realization that their club is being relegated hit them hard. The relegation became even more inevitable when substitute Robert Mühren scored the 0-2 in the far corner on his first touch, assisted by Brandley Kuwas. The fans then cried, banners were removed, and the chant 'Schaam je kapot' echoed through the Asito Stadium. Ten minutes before the end, the supporters were fed up and threw fireworks onto the field. The match was then temporarily suspended. It was a sad end to a dramatic season for Heracles. A season in which three coaches stood in front of the group, only had a highlight when Hendrie Krüzen was temporarily in charge. Then the Heraclieden picked up ten points in four games. After Ernest Faber took over from Krüzen, it quickly went downhill again. As a result, the team is now relegated to a lower level after three seasons in the Eredivisie. The supporters of Heracles are disappointed and angry about the relegation of their club. They hope that the club can quickly return to the highest level. Heracles must now look to the future and try to promote back to the Eredivisie as soon as possible.
