sport">Until the visit of the Superboeren, PEC Zwolle had only scored four times in ten Eredivisie matches. One of those goals fell into injury time last Saturday, when Bram van Polen secured the much-coveted first season win with a utilized penalty. The positive feeling that the breaking of the bad series brought with it gave the team of trainer Art Langeler extra impetus against De Graafschap.
sport">It should be noted that the resistance of the number three of the Kitchen Champion Division was extremely poor. Giovanni Korte hit the bar with a dangerous shot, but otherwise PEC Zwolle had little to fear from the Superboeren, who fell behind shortly before half-time due to a header from Zwolle left back Yuta Nakayama.
sport">Early in the second half, PEC Zwolle was 2-0 through Mustafa Saymak, a wealth that the people of Zwolle did not yet know this season. The fact that Dean Huiberts signed for the 3-0 after an hour, caused great enthusiasm, because it was his first professional goal in his 52nd game in the main force. ,,I have the feeling that that goal is on the way, I’m getting closer and closer to it”, Huiberts had said on Saturday and his feeling did not deceive him. De Graafschap came back to 3-1 via a penalty kick used by Joey Konings, but Leandro Fernandes made the quartet goals in stoppage time.
Victims
sport">FC Eindhoven and FC Dordrecht are the first major victims of the new edition of the TOTO KNVB Cup. The Brabanders were killed at DVS’33 (2-1) and FC Dordrecht was fooled by Spakenburg: 3-0.
sport">And it’s not such a good season for FC Dordrecht anyway. The Sheepheads with seven points in last place in the competition and trainer Michele Santoni had hoped to get some color on his cheeks through the first game in the cup tournament. Finally, in the competition, the people of Dordrecht only won once.
sport">But on a visit to Spakenburg, the last of the Kitchen Champion Division went down hard. Ravalino Junte, Yannick Zeeman and Frank Schilder enraptured the blue half of the village on the IJsselmeer.
sport">Also FC Eindhoven, which is tenth in the competition, could not prevent a disgrace. Benjamin Roemeon delighted all club members and fans of DVS’33 by scoring 2-0 in the opening phase as well as shortly after the break. The connection goal of the Brabant team in injury time came too late.
NAC Breda disables VVV-Venlo after penalties
sport">NAC Breda has won against VVV-Venlo in the first round of the KNVB Cup after a long and fascinating evening. The club of trainer Edwin de Graaf did that after penalties, 4-2. No player from NAC made a mistake from eleven meters, Brian Koglin and Kees de Boer missed for VVV.
sport">After 90 minutes, and 8 minutes of stoppage time, it was 1-1. Yannick Leliendal had given the Limburgers the lead after just over half an hour. Thom Haye equalized in the 89th minute. No goals were scored in extra time.
sport">The match between Kozak Boys and Telstar was also not decided after regular time. The Velsenaren from the first division won after extra time, 1-2. Sven van Doorm had given Telstar the lead from a penalty kick, but in the 93rd minute Sven van Ingen equalized for the amateurs. Tom Overtoom decided the match in the 104th minute.
sport">Telstar’s Glynor Plet was shown the red card in the 113th minute.
FC Utrecht wins easily
sport">FC Utrecht did a fine job of its task when visiting SteDoCo. The formation of René Hake triumphed in Hoornaar with 5-0. A club goal by Remco Balk and a nice shot by Othmane Boussaid gave the team a 2-0 lead at halftime. In the second act, Adam Maher, Moussa Sylla and Sander van de Streek built up the score to the eventual 5-0 victory. Heracles Almelo only got up to speed late and booked a small 1-3 victory at ASWH.

Emmen beats Volendam
sport">Jari Vlak has reached the second cup round ‘in his backyard’. The Volendam captain of FC Emmen was the boss of his old club FC Volendam (0-3) by goals from Rui Mendes (two) Jasin-Amin Assehnoun.
sport">The cup match between the leader and the number 4 of the Kitchen Champion Division was on paper one of the most beautiful posters of the first round, because the teams of Wim Jonk and Dick Lukkien are in top form in the competition. The Volendam team won their last six games, while Emmen lost only one of their last seven games.
sport">But at the bottom of the Dijk – despite all the enthusiastic previews – it quickly became clear that both clubs logically give priority to the possible promotion to the Eredivisie. The home club, which tried to make something of it, got the only chance in the first company through Daryl van Mieghem, but Emmen goalkeeper Michael Brouwer made a good save.
sport">By leaving top scorer Robert Mühren and Boy Deul in the locker room after the break, Jonk took no risk with a view to the game against FC Dordrecht at home (Friday). Mühren is 32 years old and Jonk wants to be able to use him in the four matches that FC Volendam plays in twelve days. Deul broke his ankle the day before the meeting with Emmen.
sport">FC Emmen’s first best chance, in the 53rd minute, was hit via Mendes, after which the home team cautiously insisted, but the guests were assured to be there at the end of the game thanks to a gem of a goal from Assehnoun (0-2). draw for the next round. In the final phase Mendes again scored.
