PEC Zwolle 0-4 NEC Nijmegen
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen claimed an impressive 4-0 victory over the newly promoted Eredivisie outfit, PEC Zwolle, at IJsseldelta Stadion on Saturday, September 1.
The visiting side dominated proceedings right from the kick-off, and took the lead in the 18th minute through Ryan Koolwijk. Joey van den Berg blatantly handed the ball inside the box, and the referee had no other option but to award a spot-kick.
The 27-year-old stepped up to the spot, and coolly slotted home the penalty.
In the 28th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Furdjel-Narsingh-c14243 had a perfect opportunity to score the equaliser, but his effort was blocked off the line, and he fired the rebound well over the crossbar, much to the dismay of the home side boss, Art Langeler.
Moments later, things got worse for the Bluefingers, as their goalkeeper, Leon ter Wielen, was shown a straight red card for bringing down Soren Rieks in the box. Koolwijk yet again stepped up to take the spot-kick, and made no mistake in hitting the back
of the net from the spot to make the score-line 2-0.
Although, the Nijmegen outfit were in a commanding position at the half-time break, they continued to assert their authority, and increased their lead further within ten minutes of second-half action.
