A heavy thump for RKC Waalwijk on Saturday evening in Zwolle. The club lost 2-0 to PEC late in the game. Because Almere City FC won earlier in the evening, the Waalwijkers are now at the bottom of the Eredivisie.
After a first half without many highlights, RKC was the first dangerous after the break. Tim van de Loo kicked the post from a great distance. Immediately afterwards Dylan Mbayo was close to a goal for PEC. He shot just past.
The decision fell fifteen minutes before time. Referee Danny Makkelie gave a red card to RKC’er Faissal Al Mazyani for a foul on Jamiro Monteiro and a penalty. PEC’s club top scorer Dylan Vente used the awarded penalty: 1-0. Filip Krastev shot the second goal in the 83rd minute in the 83rd minute.
PEC Zwolle is now thirteenth with 29 points. That is 5 points more than Willem II, which is sixteenth. The number 16 must play play-offs at the end of the season to ensure a longer stay in the Eredivisie.
