In the second half, 16-year-old talent Jadiel Pereira da Gama thought he had put PEC Zwolle back in front but his effort was disallowed for offside.
In the closing stages it seemed both teams had settled for a point but in the 91st minute, Brandley Kuwas finished a counter attack to give all three points to Volendam.
The win means Volendam is now 15th while PEC Zwolle is 11th.

Fortuna Sittard 2-2 Sparta Rotterdam
Casper Terho scored a 96th minute equaliser to earn Sparta a point at Fortuna Sittard.
The goalkeepers had the better of the first half until the hosts took the lead just before the break. Lance Duijvestijn, who is on loan from Sparta, found the net.
Tobias Lauritsen scored from close range to make it 1-1 early in the second half and Sparta then had a number of chances to take the lead that weren’t taken.
