Andrija Novakovich goal caps off decisive win

American striker Andrija Novakovich notched a stoppage time goal yesterday for Fortuna Sittard in the club’s 4-1 Eredivisie victory over Excelsior. It was the United States international’s second goal in four games.

After receiving the ball on the left flank, about 25 yards from goal, Novakovich calmly dribbled past the lone defender challenging him and buried the ball in the net from 6 yards out.

It was the 6’4’’ striker’s fifth league goal of the season and sixth in all competitions. He last scored on January 23, in a 4-1 loss against Feyenoord, in the Quarter-Finals of the KNVB (Dutch) Cup.
