After an entertaining first half in which Heracles managed to score 3 goals, the game fizzled out.  Roel Buikema put the visitors ahead after only 5 minutes of play with a well taken free-kick.  2 quick goals in succession by Berry Hoogenveen (34th) and Thijs Sluiter (38th) put an end to any illusions VVV may have had of a better result. Substitute Ben Mbemba scored a consolation goal for the home side in the 88th minute.
