Both sides traded chances early in the second half, while Kaj Sierhuis had a goal disallowed for offside. In the 73rd minute, Heracles had the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after a foul by Ryan Koolwijk, but Rai Vloet fired over the bar.

Just before the end, PEC Zwolle were awarded a penalty and Van Polen made no mistake to earn his side their first victory of the campaign.

PEC Zwolle remains bottom and four points from safety, while Heracles are 12th.
