Michael van Gerwen has qualified for the last sixteen at the European Darts Open at the expense of Raymond van Barneveld. 'Mighty Mike' won the Double Dutch clash at the European Tour tournament in Leverkusen 6-4.
Both Dutchmen showed excellent levels. Van Gerwen reached an average of 108, compared to 98 for Van Barneveld, who did go 4/7 on the doubles. The only mistake Van Barneveld made, however was fatal. In the 10th leg, 'Barney' was broken after spurning chances to hold and this proved to be his undoing.
Ricardo Pietreczko caused a shock but delight for the home crowd by eliminating Peter Wright. The two-time world champion missed six matchdarts before Pietreczko managed to take his second match dart to send the crowd into raptures.

- I hope it does get some harsh crowd treatment,,, it should not even be there. However, it failed at it own XY chromosome level... so now - it has to try and make itself look good playing amongst the ladies. Not good.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I agree with you, thebogeyman... I hope it gets the full hairdryer treatment. An imposter (failed male) that has to compete with women to look good. Grim.MrYnyslas197121-10-2024
- I can imagine van Leuven will indeed be booed out of the building and championship, the crowd will be on his back reminiscent of when Justin Pipe played Phil Taylor. The crowd are usually boisterous and out of control at the best of times.richieburnettrocks21-10-2024
