VZV, which has been playing in the Eredivisie since 2017, soon took the lead in the game. At the end of the first half, a stand of 15-19 was on the signs in a packed sports hall De Bloesem in Wognum.
When VZV player Esma Staal expanded the lead thirteen minutes before the end to 20-27, the title was almost inside. SEW still tried, but was unable to bring the tension back into the game.
