A Blaise N'Kufo double in the opening 11 minutes set Twente on their way, and Romano Denneboom added a third not long after. Richard Knopper pulled one back for the home side just before the break but Denneboom struck in first-half injury time to all but kill off the tie. Youssef Hersi added the fifth six minutes before time to seal what was an emphatic win for McClaren's men. Following the game the draw for the quarter-finals was made and Twente were handed a home tie with De Graafschap.
