The first half saw both teams go toe-to-toe, with neither able to break through despite a handful of promising chances.

Veerman, already enjoying a rich vein of form this season, broke the deadlock with an audacious overhead kick. The goal came from a well-rehearsed set piece routine, as Volendam capitalized on a free-kick to create chaos in the box. Veerman’s athletic finish left FC Den Bosch goalkeeper Pepijn van de Merbel rooted to the spot and sent the home supporters into raptures.
