Jacob Trenskow made the opening goal for Heerenveen (0-1) in the fifteenth minute. The competition was then stopped for a moment because disappointed fans of the home team had thrown objects on the field.
Goalman Andries Noppert of the visitors was allowed to count on the fact that the home team came to the same level in the 28th minute (1-1). He looked at a bet by Willumsson. Heerenveen was the most dangerous team after the break. But Maxence Rivera shot just next to goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus.
David van der Werff, substitute at FC Groningen, did not get the ball in the final phase past keeper Noppert, who so a bit revanched for his blunder at the 1-1. But in the end Willumsson still hit the goal for the home team.
