PEC Zwolle suffers 3-0 defeat to Hannover 96 in Germany

PEC Zwolle concluded its pre‑season preparations with a 3‑0 loss away to Hannover 96 at the Heinz‑von‑Heiden Arena, where 750 supporters marched to the stadium. Hannover took the lead early through Lars Gindorf, added a second before halftime, and sealed the win with Kolja Oudenne’s second‑half goal.

A week earlier, Heracles Almelo were beaten 2‑1 by SV Darmstadt in a closed friendly, with Jeff Reine‑Adélaïde scoring the equaliser before the hosts netted the winner after the break. FC Twente Women lost the Supercup 3‑0 to PSV in the Philips Stadion, while Go Ahead Eagles announced a supporter boycott over a new ticket‑sale system.

The matches serve as final tune‑ups before the Dutch Eredivisie season starts on 16 August, when PEC Zwolle will host Ajax and FC Twente will face De Graafschap.
