Outstanding performance
Go Ahead Eagles•GoalkeeperGo Ahead Eagles secured a crucial 1-0 victory over bottom-placed Excelsior thanks to Søren Tengstedt's decisive second-half strike. The visitors weathered early pressure and grew into the match, with goalkeeper Jari De Busser making a crucial save to deny Irakli Yegoian just before Tengstedt's winner. The Danish striker capitalized on Richonell Margaret's assist to fire home from the right side of the penalty area on 54 minutes. Excelsior's defeat leaves them rooted to the foot of the table, while Go Ahead Eagles climb away from the relegation zone with a vital three points in this basement battle.
