Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

NEC Nijmegen left Zwolle with a 3-1 Eredivisie win, their early burst proving decisive. Tjaronn Chery scored twice in the first 23 minutes, and although PEC Zwolle responded before half-time, Perr Schuurs made sure of the victory late on.

Chery opened the scoring in the fifth minute and added a second in the 23rd to give NEC a commanding lead. Koen Kostons pulled a goal back for the hosts in the 45th minute, but Schuurs restored the two-goal cushion in the 83rd, with Dušan Tadić credited with the assist.

The underlying numbers show a close contest: Zwolle edged possession with 52% and the sides shared nine shots apiece. NEC were more clinical, though, with four shots on target to Zwolle's two and a narrow expected-goals lead of 2.01 to 1.98, and Chery's brace proved decisive.
