Netherlands Derde Divisie – Saturday, 23 May 2026, 21:30

FC Lisse produced a strong away performance at the Sportpark Houtrust, defeating Scheveningen 3-1 to strengthen their grip on a top‑three position. The visitors dominated large stretches of the match, while Scheveningen struggled to keep pace despite a brief second‑half resurgence.

Match Overview

Lisse started with intent, pressing high and forcing Scheveningen into errors. The breakthrough came in the 19th minute when attacking midfielder Nick van der Meer fired home after a clever one‑two with striker Bas de Graaf. The visitors doubled their lead just before the interval as winger Rens van Dijk cut inside and curled a shot into the top corner. Scheveningen pulled one back early in the second half through a penalty from Kevin Schippers, but Lisse restored their two‑goal cushion within ten minutes through a powerful header from centre‑back Jordy de Vries.

Key Moments

• 19' – van der Meer puts Lisse ahead with a clinical finish.
• 42' – van Dijk’s solo effort makes it 2-0.
• 51' – Schippers converts a penalty after a foul on Tom van Wijk.
• 61' – de Vries heads home from a corner to make it 3-1.

Tactical Story

FC Lisse lined up in a fluid 4-3-3, using wide rotations to create overloads. Scheveningen’s 4-4-2 was too narrow, leaving their full‑backs exposed. Lisse’s first two goals came from isolating the full‑backs in one‑on‑one situations. After the penalty, Lisse tightened their defensive shape and relied on set‑pieces to seal the match. Scheveningen lacked creativity in the final third and could not find a way through Lisse’s organised backline.

Standout Players

• Nick van der Meer (Lisse) – Scored the opener and orchestrated play from midfield.
• Rens van Dijk (Lisse) – Caused constant problems with his dribbling and scored a fine goal.
• Jordy de Vries (Lisse) – Solid defensively and added a crucial goal from a set‑piece.

Table Impact

Lisse remained in 3rd place, now five points clear of 4th, with a strong chance of securing a promotion playoff spot. Scheveningen stayed in 11th, their mid‑table status unchanged. Lisse’s away form continues to be a key asset in their campaign.
