The Rotterdam team completely swept the visitors off the mat and sent them home with a historic 6-0 score.

Barely two minutes later the Rotterdam team won once more: Yankuba Minteh (36.) took full advantage of a mistake by Hato and then kicked the ball bone dry once morest the ropes. Feyenoord showed no mercy and finally beat the visitors to the canvas just before the break: 3-0 via Hancko (45.+ 2).
