The first chance of the game was for the home side. With a perfect assumption, Mike Reuvers sent two DOVO defenders into the woods after which he encountered the fists of goalkeeper Jeroen Vrolijk. The Veenendalers’ first achievement came in the 25th minute. Timo Pluk, the man with a devastating shot, tried from a distance, but his shot ended in the fists of keeper Jorick Maats.
