No fewer than nine away fans saw the U23 team surprisingly take the lead in the 38th minute. The game image up until then was fairly one-sided. Groningen attacked and Jong FC Utrecht defended. But the very first chance for the Utrecht team immediately resulted in a goal. Mees Akkerman won the ball, crossed half the field and laid the ball wide for striker Jesse van de Haar. He shot the ball into the far corner (0-1).
