Both sides went into the game looking for their first win of the season, and confidence was short on both sides of the pitch.
The first half was a poor affair until injury time as Mica Pinto was shown a red card for a handball on the goalline. Reza Ghoochannejhad scored the resulting penalty kick to make it 1-0.
Two minutes into the second half, Ghoochannejhad tapped in a corner to make it 2-0 before Clint Leemans added a third with a shot high into the net.
Yuta Nakayama then completed the rout in the 74th minute with a header.
PEC Zwolle book their first win of the season, but its troubling times for Sparta Rotterdam, who are yet to get a point.
