- 36' Willem II Tilburg has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 46' Another change for Willem II Tilburg made on 46 minute. Ringo Meerveld leaves to be changed by Gorkem Saglam.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PEC Zwolle that had 244 games and scored 272 goals.

- 78' What a moment for Thomas van den Belt! That strike on 78 puts his side firmly in control.
- 81' PEC Zwolle manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Elikia Mbinga is hanging Mustafa Saymak on the field on 81 minute.

- With this win, PEC Zwolle is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
