This week's Eredivisie stage silently witnessed the crucial role of Indonesian national team players for their respective clubs. The spotlight focused on Woudstein Stadium, where Miliano Jonathans once again proved his capacity as a deadly super-sub when Excelsior hosted Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam.
Coming on in the 63rd minute to replace Derensili Sanches Fernandes, Miliano needed little time to disrupt De Godenzonen's defense. Just eleven minutes later, precisely in the 74th minute, he successfully put his name on the scoresheet.
Miliano's stats in this match were impressive for a substitute player: two shots on target, nine accurate passes, and two successful dribbles. His goal, along with a goal contribution from Arthur Zagre, ensured Excelsior secured a 2-2 draw after previously trailing by two goals from Mika Godts' brace. This additional point placed Excelsior in 13th position in the provisional Standings.

Dean James' Tenacity on the Wing
Shifting to Kras Stadium, Garuda wing-back Dean James showed remarkable consistency while strengthening Go Ahead Eagles against FC Volendam. Playing the full 90 minutes, James became a vital pillar in the backline with 19 accurate passes and five crucial clearances.
Although the match ended 1-1, after Victor Edvardsen's goal was canceled out by Robert Muhren, James' solid performance ensured Go Ahead Eagles maintained a safe distance in 14th place, four points clear of the relegation zone occupied by Volendam.
Justin Hubner's Playing Time
Meanwhile, news from Erve Asito Stadium reported that tough defender Justin Hubner was again entrusted with a full appearance by Fortuna Sittard. Unfortunately, despite Hubner's spartan performance guarding the defensive line, Fortuna had to acknowledge the home team Heracles' narrow 1-2 victory. This regular playing time will certainly be valuable capital for Hubner to maintain his highest competition level before returning to strengthen the Indonesian National Team.
