SC Heerenveen
RKC Waalwijk
SC Heerenveen secured their passage to the next round of the KNVB Beker with a convincing 3-1 victory over RKC Waalwijk, though they had to work harder than the scoreline suggests. Jacob Trenskow was the standout performer, opening the scoring just before halftime and sealing the win with a late strike in the 90th minute. Despite RKC's spirited equalizer through Jesper Uneken in the 65th minute, Heerenveen's greater squad depth told in the final quarter as Oliver Braude restored their lead before Trenskow's second goal put the result beyond doubt. The victory maintains Heerenveen's cup momentum and provides valuable match fitness for their squad players as they look to build on their solid league position.
SC Heerenveen welcome RKC Waalwijk to the KNVB Beker Round of 16 with both sides in contrasting form. The hosts arrive on a three-match winning streak and boast historical dominance, while RKC enter with momentum from back-to-back clean sheet victories and recent success in this fixture.
