PEC Zwolle 13-0 Den Bosch: PEC Zwolle equaled the Dutch goal record on Friday. The leader of the Keuken Kampioen Divisie (Eerste Divisie) completely embarrassed FC Den Bosch and recorded the biggest victory ever on the second level (13-0).
Because Wouter van der Steen was injured against ADO Den Haag last week, Konrad Sikking was under the bar at the Bosschenaren. For the 24-year-old closing post, it would be an evening to remember. At PEC, Tolis Vellios was preferred to Lennart Thy in the rush hour and the Greek wanted to know that too. Due to his flawless hat-trick, the game was almost decided within twelve minutes (3-0).
7-0, the largest margin at halftime in 21 years
It didn’t stop there for the visitors, who must have imagined themselves in a horror movie. Haris Medunjanin, Younes Taha, once again Vellios and Thomas van den Belt ensured that PEC took the lead 7-0 within 31 minutes. That was the largest margin at halftime in 21 years in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie (Eerste Divisie).
Second half witnessed six goals
PEC continued the record hunt after the break with Thy in the squad. The German immediately asserted himself by taking care of the 8-0 in the 47th minute. Thanks to a goal from Thomas Beelen and the second goal from Thy, the leader reached the double figures after just over an hour (10-0). With half an hour to go, Sparta’s Eerste Divisie record was seriously questioned. The team from Spangen won 12-1 against Almere City in the 2010/11 season.
Van den Belt finally shot the Zwollenars into the record books
PEC equaled that margin fifteen minutes before the end by another goal from Thy (11-0). It was waiting for the twelfth goal. That was not forthcoming for a relatively long time. But in the 89th minute it was Van den Belt who finally shot the Zwollenars into the record books. Van den Berg literally provided the final piece by equaling the biggest victory in Dutch professional football ever (13-0). That came in 2020 in the name of Ajax, which beat VVV-Venlo in De Koel with the same figures.
