NEC vs. VVV Venlo

After a rather uneventful half hour, it was the away side to score on what was really their first good attack of the match. Japanese Keisuke Honda's pass from the end line found Sandro Calabro, who easily nodded it in for 0-1.

The home side improved their performance after this goal and got their reward six minutes after the interval as Ramon Zomer beat keeper Gentenaar in the aftermath of a corner kick.

NEC are in 12th place, although the Nijmegen outfit have a game in hand. VVV are currently in tenth position.
