Goalkeeper Ronald Koeman Jr. scored twice from the penalty spot to secure a 2-2 draw for Telstar against Cambuur in the Dutch Eredivisie on Sunday. The 31-year-old's second goal came in the 11th minute of stoppage time, completing a dramatic comeback after Telstar were reduced to 10 men following a red card to Nökkvi Þórisson. Koeman Jr. halved the deficit in the 63rd minute before netting the equalizer late on, despite Cambuur holding a two-goal lead.

Both penalties were taken to the bottom right corner, with the goalkeeper stating he has confidence from the spot. Cambuur players attempted to distract him during the spot-kicks, but Koeman Jr. remained composed. The draw keeps Telstar level on points after a season-opening result.
