Carrillo reportedly gave Holland the perfect start from the penalty spot before adding a second after beating a defender and goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation.
Van Faasen’s goal then put the contest beyond doubt, with Holland Christian unable to turn promising moments into sustained pressure. The report says the victory left Holland at 13-0-2 overall and 6-0-1 in the OK Black, while also maintaining their position among the leading Division 2 teams.
Holland’s success has not depended solely on Carrillo’s finishing. The report credits goalkeeper Simon Ozimek with important saves on Holland Christian’s clearest chances, while the back line restricted the Maroons to limited opportunities.
Folkert described the defensive approach in direct terms:
“One of the best things we do is hold a really strong line in the back. We catch people offside a lot and we have really fast people - and Simon has been incredible.”
That combination of a high defensive line, recovery pace and Ozimek’s composure has given Holland a reliable platform in tight matches. Coach Greg Ceithaml reportedly singled out Folkert’s leadership and concentration as central to the shutout record.
The rivalry win adds another statement to Holland’s season, but the unbeaten run will face greater scrutiny as the schedule advances. Holland Christian will look to respond, while Holland must maintain the same focus against opponents determined to disrupt its rhythm.
For now, the Dutch have attacking match-winners, a trusted goalkeeper and a defence that appears increasingly difficult to break down.
