NEC Nijmegen's emphatic 5-0 victory over SBV Excelsior was a showcase of clinical finishing and solid teamwork. The home team demonstrated excellent offensive efficiency, capitalizing on their opportunities with five goals from just seven shots on target. This conversion rate highlights their effective attacking strategies and ability to break through Excelsior's defensive line.

Defensively, NEC Nijmegen maintained strong discipline, committing only four fouls throughout the match and ensuring their defensive line stayed largely unbreached. With two offsides, their defense also showed controlled aggression, balancing a high defensive line to maintain pressure on Excelsior's attack. In contrast, Excelsior struggled to pose any legitimate threat, as evidenced by their zero shots on target, failing to test the NEC goalkeeper substantially.

SBV Excelsior's inability to convert their limited corner opportunities (2 corners) contrasted with NEC's advantage in this area (7 corners). NEC's dominance in set pieces played a crucial role in sustaining pressure on Excelsior and provided numerous scoring opportunities. The early yellow card for Excelsior, just two minutes after NEC's opening goal, might have contributed to a more cautious and ultimately ineffective approach by the visiting team throughout the match.
