Kostons inspires Zwolle to ninth with second half surge | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: PEC Zwolle beat Telstar 4-1 in the Eredivisie. Shola Shoretire had put Zwolle ahead before the break, but Nils Rossen levelled in the 60th minute. Koen Kostons restored the lead (67.) and teed up Tristan Gooijer (70.), and after VAR overturned a Kaj de Rooij strike (81.), Kostons wrapped it up (83.). Tom de Graaff produced seven saves, resisting a Telstar spell that featured eight shots on target. Zwolle rise from 12th to ninth and host Volendam next, while Telstar drop from 16th to 17th and welcome Go Ahead Eagles in the KNVB Beker.

Player of the Match: Kostons delivered a brace and an assist, turning the game after the equaliser, and added six aerial wins and two key passes to a dominant centre-forward display.

Stat of the Match: Simon Graves made 17 clearances, a commanding performance that repeatedly repelled Telstar's deliveries.

Three Things We Learned: Zwolle's shot accuracy was 56.2%, with nine shots on target from 16 attempts, underlining their clinical edge. Telstar forced nine corners and delivered 22 crosses but converted only one chance despite eight efforts on target. The VAR reversal on de Rooij's effort kept the gap at two before the hosts struck again late.
