PEC Zwolle were down to ten men after fifteen minutes, due to a red card from goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar. “They played very compactly after that and we didn’t get a response to that.” Said a little disappointed Kian Fitz-Jim afterwards. The Amsterdammer had to leave the pitch just before the hour due to a minor groin injury.
