From the off, Heracles Almelo displayed an intense level of aggression with a goal scored in the 18th minute of the first half. Their offensive prowess was further highlighted with two more goals in the first half, within mere two minutes of each other at the 37th and 39th-minute marks. The thunderous first half set the tone of the match, allowing Almelo to command a clear dominance over the game.

Despite opportunities, AZ Alkmaar struggled to escape the pressures from Almelo’s defense. Almelo seized them all to sink two more goals in the 89th and 93rd minutes of the secound half, sealing a 5-0 victory.
