The figures after a great victory over PEC Zwolle

In NEC on Rapport, every player who has played for at least half an hour gets a number. NEC managed to win the first home game this season against PEC Zwolle. The rest position turned out, after a less exciting second half, eventually be the final score. NEC did what it had to do and was more effective than PEC, making the first three points this season a fact.

Mattijs Branderhorst 7
Kept a clean sheet, which is of course the most important thing for a goalkeeper. Came across calmly and was there when needed. Also saves that PEC couldn’t get really dangerous with shots.

Bart van Rooij 6,5
After his dramatic Eredivisie debut last week, Van Rooij played a great match against PEC. Didn’t do crazy things and also came up with a few good times. Not much to note.

Ivan Marquez 7
A true defender who is not afraid to go into a full duel. Had few problems with the PEC striker. He has leadership qualities and he uses them to direct the young boys around him.

Cas Odenthal 6.5
Like Marquez, Odenthal has not run into trouble. Was when he had to be there and seems to be able to handle this level just fine. One swallow does not make a summer of course, but hopefully he can continue the level of this competition.

Souffian El Karouani 5,5
Had a hard time with his direct opponent. Of course he had that riot and you could see from him that he was sometimes a bit irritated. However, all this did not lead to great opportunities for PEC. He himself said that it can only get better and it should.

Let beautiful 7
You can see from everything that he played football at a high level. Defensively he was very present and also strong in the duels. He also made few mistakes. It was a little less offensive. This was certainly also because he was quickly chased by two men.

Mikkel Duelund 7
Of course gave both assists on the goals and looked good playing football. Not afraid to enter into duels. You can see why so much money was paid for him once and it is hoped for NEC that he will get back to that old level. Then you have a very good player in the house.

Dirk Proper 6
Didn’t really like this match. That’s not positive, but he didn’t do anything wrong either. Always looking for the footballing solution and that is commendable. He is going through a great development, hopefully he can continue.

Jonathan Okita 6,5
Okita remains Okita. He scores a good goal, but is also sloppy. A few good assumptions and actions, but you can expect more from a player with his qualities.

Ali Akman 8
Scoring on your basic debut is not for every striker at NEC, great goal. Runs on everything and with that he gave the defense a tough night. Already has the fans on his hand because of his joy during and after the game.

Jordy Bruin 5,5
It is clear that Bruijn is not a winger. He plays to his ability, but still has a hard time and can therefore not distinguish himself, where he succeeded last year. Of course it also has to do with the fact that it is a level higher and Bruijn also has to prove himself in the Eredivisie.

Magnus Mattson, Edgar Barreto, Ole Romeny and Elayis Tavsan all played too little to qualify for a grade.
