SBV Excelsior doubled their lead in the second half, scoring at 56 minutes. This goal further solidified their control over the match. Crucially, Excelsior's attacking unit was effective in putting pressure on the TOP Oss defense, as evidenced by their eight corner kicks compared to the four corners won by the visitors. This ability to keep the ball in threatening positions allowed SBV Excelsior to dominate offensive play.

From a disciplinary perspective, Excelsior received a single yellow card, while TOP Oss maintained a clean sheet in that regard. The home side committed 14 fouls compared to TOP Oss’s nine, suggesting a more aggressive approach in midfield battles.

Strategically, TOP Oss failed to capitalize on their four corner opportunities and did not execute any offsides, indicating a lack of penetrative runs or attempts to stretch the Excelsior defense.
