Unbelievable! A GOALKEEPER just scored a brace in the Eredivisie, a first in history
The Koeman name is famous for goals, but nobody ever expected them to come from between the posts: Ronald Koeman Jr just made Eredivisie history.
Details: The Telstar goalkeeper scored twice from the penalty spot in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cambuur, converting in the 63rd minute and then 11 minutes into stoppage time to rescue a point for his 10-man side. He is the first goalkeeper ever to score a brace in an Eredivisie match.
This is becoming a habit rather than a quirk. The 31 year old, son of the legendary defender who scored over 200 career goals and coached the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, is Telstar's designated penalty taker, and last season he converted a dramatic last minute spot kick against Volendam that kept the club in the Eredivisie altogether. Born in Barcelona while his father starred for the Blaugrana, Koeman Jr has carved out a cult hero status of his own in IJmuiden. Strikers across the Netherlands might want to check the scoring charts, because right now a man wearing gloves is climbing them.
It's worth noting that Ronald Koeman Sr remains the highest scoring defender in football history, and his son now holds a scoring record even he never achieved.
