PEC Zwolle delivered a commanding second-half performance to overwhelm Telstar 4-1 at home, with the match completely transformed after the interval. After Shola Shoretire's first-half header gave Zwolle the lead, Telstar briefly leveled through Nils Rossen's well-taken effort on the hour mark. However, Koen Kostons proved to be the match-winner with a brilliant brace, first restoring Zwolle's advantage with a clinical finish from close range, then sealing the victory late on after a VAR incident. The home side's tactical switches at half-time, bringing on Sem van Duijn and Kaj de Rooij, completely shifted the momentum as they exploited Telstar's defensive frailties with quick counterattacks and set-piece prowess.
