Decisive figure steers PEC Zwolle past NAC Breda | OneFootball

Odysseus Velanas created the opener in the 22nd minute and added the second moments later as PEC Zwolle beat NAC Breda 2-1.

He first bent a cross from the left that Thijs Oosting glanced in (22.). He then arrived in the box to finish from close range after a set piece (24.).

Before being replaced, Velanas' delivery fashioned another opening, with Tristan Gooijer's close range header blocked from his cross (53.).

He finished with four key passes, three accurate crosses from four and four fouls won, underlining how his craft supplied the chances Zwolle needed.

With his set piece quality and wide service occupying the visitors' back line, Zwolle controlled the key first half phases that shaped the contest.

Zwolle rise from 13th to 12th in the Eredivisie and visit Go Ahead Eagles next. NAC Breda remain 17th and host Sparta Rotterdam next.
