Vitesse drew for the fourth time in a row in the Eredivisie in the Gelderland derby. At home in the GelreDome, Phillip Cocu's side could not get beyond a 0-0 draw. Despite the fact that NEC were reduced to ten men after just 21 minutes when Oussama Tannane was sent off with a red card, no goals were scored. The score remained goalless.
