3 – 1
“Søren Tengstedt opened the scoring with a left-footed shot from the left side of the box, moments after winning a free kick in Go Ahead's defensive half. ADO had just forced a save at the other end through Nigel Thomas, but the Eagles struck immediately on the counter.”
Pivotal“Victor Edvardsen made it 2-0 with a right-footed finish from the right side of the box, arriving just minutes after ADO had brought on two substitutes and Go Ahead had survived another scare through a Tengstedt effort that was saved in the middle of the goal. The double substitution from ADO failed to spark a reaction and instead Go Ahead struck the killer blow.”
Pivotal“Evan Rottier reduced the deficit to 2-1 with a right-footed shot from the center of the box, capitalising on a period of reorganisation following Go Ahead's three simultaneous substitutions two minutes earlier. The goal briefly breathed life into ADO's afternoon, though Rottier would pick up a yellow card just four minutes later for a foul.”
Outstanding performance

Go Ahead Eagles controlled this Eredivisie encounter from the front, taking the lead through Søren Tengstedt just before the break after winning a free kick in their own half and quickly transitioning forward. Despite ADO Den Haag edging possession at 53 percent and generating more shots overall, Go Ahead were more dangerous where it mattered — converting two of their four shots on target compared to ADO's one. Victor Edvardsen doubled the advantage in the 64th minute, arriving on the right side of the box to tuck away the decisive second goal shortly after ADO had thrown on two substitutes in search of a foothold. Evan Rottier pulled one back in the 78th minute after Go Ahead made wholesale changes, briefly setting nerves jangling, but a fourth goal sealed it late on and Eagles were never truly threatened — this was a disciplined, clinical home performance that keeps them in a strong position in the Eredivisie table. For ADO, still adapting to life in the top flight, the attacking statistics flattered a side that lacked the sharpness to hurt a well-organised opponent.
