- 6' Brilliant from the forward! Lois Openda makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 6.
- 11' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SBV Vitesse that had 282 games and scored 317 goals.
- 15' The deadlock is broken! Melle Meulensteen gets on the scoresheet on 15 minutes.
- 16' What composure from Melle Meulensteen! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 1-2.

- 41' SBV Vitesse are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RKC Waalwijk backline.
- 46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Richard van der Venne suffering a number of foals already.
