In the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 in the early hours of Wednesday morning (21), Yanhofen came from behind to draw 1-1 with Dormont at home thanks to a penalty from Luke Dijon. The 33-year-old Dutch veteran has made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 39 goals, 28 of which were goals and 11 assists, and is as strong as ever.
In this match, Dormont played the role of home favorites, and 25-year-old Dutch international Dang Jermallen had an eye-catching performance, completing a solo breakaway shot that was saved by Dormont goalkeeper Wojda Binnidis in the opening match in only 15 minutes. In the 24th minute, Jermallen scored with a powerful shot off a cross from Schaubisa, but he chose to remain silent as a tribute to his former hosts, Yanhofen.
Despite being behind, Yan Haofen did not give up and fought back with all their might. Ismail Shabari's shot from inside the penalty area was parried by the opponent's goalkeeper Alexandra Mia. In the 54th minute, Yan Haofen midfielder Ma Li Tim Wen finally seized the opportunity to break into the penalty area to create a foul on the opponent, after VAR replay, the referee awarded a penalty kick, and Luk Dijon hit the penalty kick to equalize the score to 1-1.
