Tactical Story

Katwijk started in a 4-3-3 and looked to use their wingers to stretch De Treffers, who lined up in a 4-4-2. The home side’s early dominance paid off with a set-piece goal, but they failed to build on it. De Treffers adjusted at half-time, pushing their midfield higher and pressing Katwijk’s deep-lying playmaker. That change disrupted Katwijk’s rhythm and allowed the visitors to turn the game around with two well-worked goals. In the final 15 minutes, Katwijk reverted to long balls, which De Treffers dealt with comfortably.

Standout Players

Coen Maertzdorf was the catalyst for De Treffers, scoring the equaliser and driving his team forward with relentless energy. Tim Waterink’s movement and finishing proved decisive, while defender Ruben van Kouwen made a crucial late block to preserve the win. For Katwijk, Jelle van der Kooij took his goal well and was a threat in the air, but the home side lacked the cutting edge to find a second goal.
