FC Twente dominated the match from start to finish, with John van den Brom opting for newcomer Joël Drommel in goal, resulting in Lars Unnerstall losing his starting position at the club. The Tukkers' control was evident, with Ruud Nijstad scoring the first goal from outside the box, followed by Wout Weghorst's cool finish, assisted by Drommel. In the second half, Sondre Ørjasaeter provided a crucial assist for Marko Pjaca's goal, before Younes Taha sealed the win, with Ilyes Hamache scoring a late consolation goal for Cambuur.

Cambuur remain the only team in the Eredivisie without a point, while Twente have secured their second win of the season, following their 3-1 victory over PEC Zwolle earlier in the campaign.
