The incident happened when Yoann Cathline from FC Utrecht took a powerful shot. The ball hit the post but then bounced back and struck Pasveer, resulting in an own goal. This unfortunate moment marked a new low for the veteran keeper.
Despite this setback, Ajax managed to secure a 2-2 draw in their home stadium, the Johan Cruyff Arena. The team showed resilience in the second half, but many felt that FC Utrecht played better overall and deserved the win.
Pasveer’s record-breaking own goal took the title from Rinus Israel, who was 39 years old when he scored an own goal back in 1981. This new record highlights the challenges Pasveer faces as an older player in a competitive league.
The match was a tough battle for Ajax, who are known for their strong performances. However, the draw leaves them with mixed feelings, especially with Pasveer’s record overshadowing the team’s efforts. Fans and analysts will be discussing this game for some time, especially considering the unexpected twist of Pasveer’s record.
As Ajax continues their season, they will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming matches. The team has a strong history and will aim to bounce back from this draw and the unwanted record set by their goalkeeper.
