ADO Den Haag secured a commanding 3-0 victory over MVV Maastricht in what proved to be a tale of two halves at the Kyocera Stadium. The breakthrough came through misfortune for the visitors when Mitch van Kempen's own goal in the 68th minute broke the deadlock after a goalless first period. ADO manager's tactical substitutions at the hour mark, bringing on Illaijh de Ruijter and Nigel Thomas, proved decisive as both players contributed to the final scoreline. The Haagse club pulled away in the final stages with substitute Diogo Tomas doubling the advantage in the 86th minute before Thomas capped off the victory with a third goal in stoppage time, extending ADO's positive run in the Eerste Divisie.
