Kaj de Rooij match winner PEC Zwolle against Sparta
PEC defended a lot better than on Sunday in Almelo. Not much happened for the first half hour. When PEC Zwolle became dangerous for the first time after half an hour, it immediately resulted in a goal. Jamiro Monteiro was able to pass the ball in the sixteen-meter area to the free-standing Kaj de Rooij, who placed the ball into the goal with the inside of his right foot: 1-0.
Bottom line Heracles Almelo is back in line after victory at Excelsior
Sparta had a great chance to equalize after the break through Tobias Lauritsen. The striker headed the ball just wide twenty minutes before the end. The Rotterdam team ended the game with ten men after a red card for Teo Quintero.
Sparta has four points more than PEC Zwolle and is ninth.
