ADO Den Haag 1:4 Groningen: Eredivisie Match Result

Match report

Groningen claimed a comfortable 4-1 win over ADO Den Haag at the VertTalent Stadion on Sunday, extending their winning start to the Eredivisie campaign. The visitors took control early and never looked back, with goals from T. van Bergen, B. Willumsson, and a brace from N. Eggens. D. van der Werff scored twice for Groningen in the opening half before Y. Eduardo pulled one back for the hosts.

Van Bergen opened the scoring in the 15th minute, setting the tone for what would be a difficult afternoon for ADO. Willumsson doubled the lead just before the hour mark with a well-taken goal in the 30th minute. Van der Werff then arrived on the scene, finding the net twice in quick succession around the 45th minute to put the visitors 4-0 up before the break.

Eduardo scored for ADO in the 55th minute, but the goal did little to salvage their performance. Eggens completed the scoring with two goals in the 81st and 82nd minutes, ensuring the result reflected Groningen's superiority. David van der Werff picked up a yellow card in the 83rd minute as the match wound down.

The statistics told the story of a one-sided encounter. Groningen registered 14 shots on target compared to ADO's 4, while their expected goals figure of 3.2 dwarfed the hosts' 1.01. Despite enjoying 55 per cent possession, ADO created only two big chances while Groningen managed seven.

The result moves Groningen to 10th place in the table with six points from four games, while ADO Den Haag remain rooted to 15th on a solitary point.
