FC Emmen, number seven in the first division, was surprisingly eliminated by amateur club Koninklijke HFC.
Hercules among the townspeople
For safety reasons and due to the restrictions at Sportpark Voordorp, the home base of Hercules, and the impossibility to move to FC Utrecht, the match with Sparta was played at the home of SV Kampong.
Tim Pieters, one of the heroes of the match on December 21 last year against Ajax in the Galgenwaard with two goals, was in the starting line-up for the home team, but was unable to play a leading role despite some dangerous actions.
An interruption suits Sparta well
The tactical plan of Hercules coach Younes el Yandouzi worked for a long time and the amateurs surprisingly easily held their own against Sparta. Hercules even took the lead in the 68th minute. After a header from Jules Stokkers, Sel took Bastmeijer with the right and the striker shot in with the left.

After the goal, a new stunt against the miserably playing Sparta beckoned, but the home club’s momentum was annoyingly interrupted by fireworks and smoke on the field. As a result, the match was briefly stopped.
Sharper Sparta
After a thunderous speech from Sparta coach Jeroen Rijsdijk during the break, the visitors came out of the dressing room sharper. A great pass with the outside of the foot from Mohamed Nassoh was headed into the goal by substitute Arno Verschueren: 1-1.
Hercules managed to extend the match, but Sparta struck mercilessly. All five goals were scored by substitutes. The 18-year-old debutant Aymane Bais scored two, the first with the help of Hercules, Charles-Andreas Brym was also accurate twice and Ayoub Oufkir scored once.
