CroatiaIn the fourth round of the Dutch Eredivisie, NEC Nijmegen defeated PEC Zwolle 3:1 in a highly unusual match featuring four penalty kicks and two disallowed goals. NEC took the lead early after a handball by PEC's Sherel Floranus, with Tjarron Chery scoring the resulting penalty. PEC attempted to respond but had their goal disallowed due to offside. NEC extended their lead with another penalty in the first half. After halftime, Koen Kostons scored again but was denied by VAR due to offside. NEC secured the win with a goal from Perr Schuurs in the 83rd minute, marking his return to football after nearly three years away due to knee injuries. NEC will face Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League this season.
