Achilles Veen lost away to GOD after appearing set for a first three-point win there. The score was 0-1 for an hour, but GOD eventually won 4-1 in Zeeland. Achilles Veen said it had again lacked ruthlessness.

A week later, Achilles Veen also failed to reverse its fortunes against Dongen, losing 1-3 at home as the visitors scored from counterattacks and the hosts missed major chances. Pim Goossens said the missed opportunities were connected to confidence and also accepted personal responsibility.
