Hovocubo/Veerhuys knew that it was a tough competition in its own sports hall Vredehof. The last time both teams met it became no less than 8-1 for Tigers. In the first half in particular, Hovocubo/Veerhuys showed a lot of awe for the reigning national champion. Opportunities were sparing for the merger club from Hoorn and halfway the visitors were a 0-2 lead.
Cheeky
In the second half, Khalid Elbaz’s team crawled more out of his shell and it became a bit brutal. Jesse Koeman took care of the connection goal shortly after the break. But all hope for a stunt from Hovocubo/Veerhuys quickly afterwards through three consecutive goals from Tigers.
A direct red card for International Ayoub Boukhari Due to kicking, the home team could no longer help in the saddle. In the final phase, Thijs Nugter and Kevin van London managed to raise the score to 3-5, but the victory of Tigers Roermond would no longer be in danger.
