The match was initially supposed to be played at the Hercules grounds in Utrecht, but that club is thrown off its grounds just before the final, which results in a hasty move to Heemstede.https://www.totoknvbbeker.nl/100-finales/1899-r.a.p.-wint-den-holdertbeker 1899: R.A.P. wint den holdertbeker 1899: R.A.P. wins the holding cup nl www.totoknvbbeker.nl 31 January 2018 1 November 2024 https://sportgeschiedenis.nl/sporten/voetbal/ook-in-de-eerste-bekerfinale-stond-een-ploeg-uit-amsterdam/ Ook in de eerste bekerfinale stond een ploeg uit Amsterdam A team from Amsterdam also appeared in the first cup final nl sportgeschiedenis.nl 16 April 2022 1 November 2024 Johan Schröder, the captain of RAP in this final and also a sports journalist, wrote about this last-minute change in De Athleet, stating it was "a circumstance that of course had a very disadvantageous effect" - not exactly the best example of independent sports journalism. Overview The match's first chance fell to HVV, but it was RAP who came closest to a goal in the first half, and in fact, they scored twice, but the referee Bill Dijxhoorn disallows both goals, one for offside and the other for handball. The score remained 0-0 until half-time and there were no goals in the second half either. The match ended in a draw after 90 minutes, so the first period of extra time, consisting of two halves of 7½ minutes each, was played; after that had ended without a decision, a second such period was followed (as stipulated by the regulations). These additional 15 minutes also seemed to end goalless, but Guy Zweerts "pushes forward, places the ball past Mundt, and gives the quickly approaching Jan Hisgen a great chance, who strikes it with his first touch, which flies between Kool's legs before he can close them". RAP thus wins the cup, which is given to the hands of RAP's captain Schröder by its donator Hak Holdert, and which now remains in the clubhouse of the Amsterdam club. Interestingly, Schröder later became one of the most feared journalists in the Netherlands as editor-in-chief of the Telegraaf, then presided by Holdert. During the match, there was "a rather annoying wind that blew diagonally across the field".
