Departure system in the top division of the Netherlands is built in an unusual way. On the direct leaves of Eredivizi only the worst team of the championship, and the 16th and 17th club participate in the playoffs for a place in the elite of Dutch football.

Also here are 8 more clubs from the second division. First four teams play the quarter finals, later the winners in the semi-finals meet with four strongest teams of the second league and two clubs of Eredivizi. The winners go to two finals, where two teams are determined who will spend the next season in Eredivizi.

Roda, who took the penultimate place this season, met with the club Maastricht (seventh place in the second division) and managed to pass the southeast club, scoring only one goal in two games (0: 0, 1: 0).

Rod - Maastricht 1: 0 (first match 0: 0) But another club from the elite failed to escape. Nijmegen lost the first match Breda with a score of 1: 0, and already in the 7th minute he complicated his life by letting home. Nevertheless, the first half ended in a draw, and the fans of Nijmegen hoped for the best, but in the second half of Breda signed three times at the gate NEK and returned to the top division after 2 years.

Nijmegen - Breda 1: 4 (first match 0: 1).
