Twente leveled the match eight minutes into the new half as Peter Wisgerhof's perfect chip to the left side of the six-yard box was volleyed to the roof of the net by Theo Janssen. Twente took the lead with twelve minutes remaining as Theo Janssen's free-kick into the box bounded loose to Romano Denneboom who then slotted it into the opposite corner of the net. With three minutes remaining Eljero Elia provided a Blaise Nkufo a well weighted through ball with the captain sending the ball in from a tight angle to the right bringing the match to a 3-1 final.
