Lammers puts FC Twente ahead early

Van Hoorenbeeck restores Twente's lead
After the break, FC Twente took control once again. In the 54th minute, Alec Van Hoorenbeeck put the Tukkers back in front. The defender was set up by Bas Kuipers and settled the final score at 1-2. NEC were unable to find a second equaliser for the remainder of the match.
