Matt Miazga gets first win as a Vitesse starter

Matt Miazga got his third consecutive start for Vitesse in the team's mid-week KNVB Cup win over RKC Waalwijk.

The 4-1 victory was Vitesse's first win since defender Maikel van der Werff went down injured and Miazga was tapped to replace the 27-year-old in the starting lineup (it has only been three games, and the other two were creditable-if-frustrating draws on the road). Head coach Henk Fraser named a strong - though not full strength - lineup for a home game against lower league opposition that his team was expected to win. Vitesse did not disappoint.
