GVVV’s predominance was also expressed in the many corners the team received, but no goals were scored from those corner kicks. Berrio got another dot of a chance just before half-time, but that too went wrong. As a result, Hercules, which clearly had more opposition than in the previous duels against IJsselmeervogels, already entered the dressing rooms as a mental winner after 45 minutes with a 0-0 halftime score.
