Match report

NEC Nijmegen left Stadion Galgenwaard with a 3-2 win after taking a 2-0 lead by the interval and holding off Utrecht's response. Dušan Tadić's second goal of the match on 58 minutes settled it.

Kevin Kers opened the scoring on 34 minutes from Mitchel Bakker's assist, before Tadić doubled NEC Nijmegen's lead four minutes later, set up by Deveron Fonville. Utrecht went in 2-0 down at half-time.

Utrecht reacted after the break, with Yoann Cathline pulling one back on 56 minutes from Ángel Alarcón's assist. Tadić restored NEC Nijmegen's two-goal cushion two minutes later, and although Utrecht made three changes on 59 minutes, Nordin Amrabat's pass helped Dani De Wit reduce the arrears on 64 minutes. NEC Nijmegen then made three changes on 88 minutes, with Tadić among those taken off, and Utrecht could not find an equaliser.

The numbers were close in most areas. NEC Nijmegen had 51% of the ball to Utrecht's 49 and slightly more passes, 400 to 394, while both sides had 16 shots. NEC Nijmegen were ahead on shots on target, 7 to 5, on corners, 8 to 3, and on expected goals, 2.2 to 2.1, while Utrecht made more saves, 4 to 3, and committed more fouls, 17 to 11.

Utrecht's bookings went to Nordin Amrabat on 72 minutes and Yoann Cathline on 90 minutes. NEC Nijmegen were booked three times, with Bryan Linssen on 85 minutes, Clement Bischoff on 89 minutes and Willum Thor Willumsson three minutes into stoppage time.
