TEC 2-0 Heino
Netherlands Derde Divisie | May 31, 2026 | 20:00 local time

TEC secured a solid 2-0 home victory over Heino in the Netherlands Derde Divisie, moving further away from the relegation zone. The result was built on an efficient first-half performance and a clean defensive display in the second period.

Match Overview

TEC started with clear intent and took the lead in the 14th minute. Winger Roman de Groot cut inside from the right flank and unleashed a left-footed curler that nestled into the far corner. The hosts doubled their advantage 10 minutes before half-time when striker Koen Hassink headed home from a corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

Heino attempted to respond after the break, pushing more players forward, but TEC’s well-organised back four, marshalled by veteran captain Jeroen van Dam, remained resolute. The visitors’ best chance came in the 78th minute when a long-range effort rattled the crossbar, but TEC held on comfortably.

Key Moments

• 14' – Goal: De Groot (TEC) – a brilliant individual effort from the flank.
• 35' – Goal: Hassink (TEC) – towering header from a corner.
• 52' – Save: TEC goalkeeper Bart de Wit made a reflex save to deny a point-blank header.
• 78' – Crossbar: Heino's best chance, but TEC survived.

Tactical Story

TEC set up in a compact 4-4-2, looking to hit on the counter and exploit set pieces. Their second goal came from a well-rehearsed corner routine. Heino, playing a 4-3-3, dominated possession in the second half (62% overall) but lacked penetration against a disciplined defence. TEC’s defensive midfielders sat deep, preventing any through balls.

Standout Player

TEC captain Jeroen van Dam was outstanding at centre-back, winning nine aerial duels and making six clearances. His leadership kept the shape tight and frustrated Heino’s attack.

Table Impact

The win lifts TEC to 12th place, three points clear of the relegation playoff spots. Heino remain in 15th, now winless in five matches and in danger of slipping into the bottom three.
