In an exciting Eredivisie encounter on October 21, 2023, Waalwijk managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory against FC Volendam. With an almost equal distribution of goals, fouls, and corner kicks, the indirect factors such as timing of goals and tactical usage of substitutions played a significant role in shaping the outcome.

The Away team, FC Volendam, managed to equalize the score 1-1 in the second half at 88:33 but could not maintain the score due to a quick retaliatory goal from Waalwijk in the subsequent three minutes, bringing the home team back in the lead at 91:32.
