October 16th features a match where FC Twente will host FC Groningen in a clash of the Eredivisie.

Ricardo Pepi struck first for FC Groningen in the 14th minute on a penalty kick, then Dario Van Den Buijs tied it up for RKC Waalwijk in the 38th minute on a penalty kick But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 80th minute on a goal by Mika Bieveth.
