A crucial moment in the match came when Almere City took the lead within ten minutes, thanks to a blunder from Dordrecht goalkeeper Yannick van Osch. He hesitated too long with the throw-out, allowing Olivier de Nijs to score. The home team then hit the post, but Béni Mpanzu eventually scored a stunning goal in the top corner from a corner kick. The corners were indeed in FC Dordrecht's favour, as the 2-1 goal also came from a corner. Almere City's goalkeeper followed the example of his counterpart and failed to clear a high ball, allowing Stan Henderikx to score.
The match ended in a thrilling finale, with Almere City equalising in the 90th minute through a header from Joey Jacobs. A minute later, Ayoub Ouarghi sealed the 3-2 win with a beautiful long-range shot.
