PEC Zwolle – NEC Nijmegen

In a lively Eredivisie encounter at the MAC³PARK, NEC Nijmegen turned a hostile atmosphere into a convincing 3‑1 victory over PEC Zwolle. The win lifted the visitors to 10th place with seven points, while the hosts slipped further down to 16th, still clinging to just four points after their solitary win and one draw. Zwolle’s defence, which has already conceded 17 goals in six matches, could not contain Nijmegen’s attack that now boasts 11 goals for the season. The result also settled the season’s head‑to‑head, giving NEC the sole triumph in their two meetings. With the gap widening, Zwolle’s relegation battle looks increasingly precarious.
