In the first half hour, Kampong was lord and master. Merijn Muskens had two chances and Jort de Zeeuw also failed to open the score. Veteran Daan Groot Zwaaftink was closest to the opening goal, but his free kick hit the crossbar. “We let it go in the first half hour,” said attacker Merijn Muskens afterwards. “We were better”, coach Frank Bruijnis also thought. “But we didn’t get enough pressure on it.”
