The winning goal was scored by Sondre Ørjasaeter in the second half. Ørjasaeter's goal came after a cross from Younes Taha, which initially seemed too high but was cleverly worked into the net by the Norwegian midfielder.

Wout Weghorst had a chance to double the lead for Twente from the penalty spot, but his effort was saved by Telstar's goalkeeper Ronald Koeman junior. The result sees Twente climb to fifth place in the Eredivisie table, with ten points from five matches, while Telstar remains in 14th place with four points.
