Two tied scorelines required shoot-outs, so match goals and decisive penalties are kept separate below. Barendrecht’s second equaliser came in the 115th minute after the sides had exchanged the lead, while Den Haag recovered against Excelsior ’31 after the break. Roda found its only goal against De Graafschap in the 84th minute. The common lesson is about reading the result correctly: a close score does not necessarily mean similar attempt totals or a similar route to a winner, and match goals alone cannot identify the advancing team in a shoot-out tie.
