“I have to give the compliments to OJC. They made it really difficult for us”, trainer René van der Kooij reacted. His team could not hold the lead. After fifteen minutes of play Dennis Knuiman worked the ball behind goalkeeper Pepijn Vonk (1-1). Hercules soon chose the attack again. In the 20th minute, OJC goalkeeper Joris van Gerwen saved a shot from the Utrecht team. In the rebound, Waterink scored his second goal of the afternoon.
