The fact that the Galgenwaard stands were fairly empty was a good thing. Jong Utrecht and PEC made it a colorless and sloppy spectacle, especially in the first half.
Pro shots
PEC had the upper hand in this first company, had opportunities, but did not come up with great opportunities. Young FC Utrecht occasionally knocked on the door, but played off attacks sloppily, so that the talents from Utrecht did not create great opportunities.
At the start of the second half, the game got a little more entertaining. PEC still had more ball possession and insisted, but Jong Utrecht managed to become dangerous a few times in the counterstroke. Derensili Sanches Fernandes and former PEC player Eliano Reijnders got the chance to score.
However, it was PEC that scored the only goal of the game. Thomas van den Belt scored from a free kick. The people of Zwolle did not play better football after the goal, but they did win the game.
