Just six minutes later the score was again close: Gudmundsson was floored in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty, which he then shot in himself. Another six minutes later another goal fell. Bergkamp did something back for the visitors and fired in the 2-1: a goal-rich opening phase at De Herdgang. The Waalwijkers had a clear advantage after the tying goal and had a series of chances.

Nice goal by Gudmundsson
The second half started with a setback for coach Haar's team: RKC Waalwijk soon got a penalty kick after a hands ball by Malen. Voskamp did not fail and put the visitors level from eleven meters. After just under an hour of play the situation changed again. Gudmundsson rounded goalkeeper Vaessen and shot PSV U21 back into the lead. A clever goal. After the Icelander's goal, the visitors had a slight advantage and went in search of the equalizer. Room had to come into action several times to preserve the lead. Voskamp also headed a great opportunity over. So it was mainly a case of holding back in the closing stages. That worked, as RKC Waalwijk failed to score again. Just before time it almost became 4-2: Duarte shot from distance on the crossbar after a fine individual action.
