Twente won 9–0 away to Excelsior on 1 November, with Wout Weghorst scoring four goals and Sondre Ørjasæter providing five assists. Weghorst struck in the 12th, 32nd and 33rd minutes before converting a penalty in the 62nd, according to ESPN’s event record. ESPN’s match record.
Excelsior had already lost Nesto Groen to a red card in the fifth minute, seven minutes before the opener. The numerical imbalance therefore lasted for most of a match in which Twente scored five before half-time and four after it. Twente’s first three goals were all scored by Weghorst before his team-mates joined the scoring.
Thomas van den Belt, Jordy Bawuah and Ramiz Zerrouki also scored, while Daan Rots added two. Zerrouki’s 71st-minute goal was another penalty. Twente had 79.8 per cent possession, 28 attempts and 15 on target; Excelsior recorded no attempts in the available statistics. Ørjasæter assisted the goals in the 12th, 32nd, 33rd and 49th minutes as well as the first minute of first-half stoppage time: the first three goals and two more before the penalties.
