Başar Önal doubled the lead just two minutes into the second half, set up by Lebreton who turned provider after his first-half strike. Sami Ouaissa sealed the deal on 63 minutes, finishing neatly from a Tjaronn Chery assist to complete the rout. NEC were dominant throughout, firing 27 shots to Volendam's seven in front of 12,230 fans. The visitors rarely threatened and managed just three efforts on target all evening.

Volendam, stuck in 14th on 27 points, continue to look nervously over their shoulders as relegation worries mount.
