The Gerben Driesprong team started the second quarter strong, building a four-goal margin with goals from Reuten, Dentro, and Wijgers twice. Coach Richel Driessen's men continued to push forward and came back into the game in the third period. The 8-10 goal was a splendid own goal by Dentro, who headed the pass from MNC keeper Milan de Koff over his own keeper like Robin van Persie. It was the last goal for the home team before ZPB scored eight more times. Driessen on the match.

"The first period was tied at 3-3 and then the second period was a lot less. We fell behind four goals in the third before fighting our way back into the match. It apparently cost too much energy, and we let it slip in the remainder of the game. Ultimately, the final score is somewhat distorted."

ZPB coach Driesprong is pleased with the victory.

''It was a good game on our part, nice to have before the winter break. It's good to end the first half of the season this way. After an evenly matched first part, we were able to push through in the next quarter. The victory was never in danger for the rest of the match. Also, because almost everyone on our team can score and has scored."
