Match report

NEC Nijmegen came from behind to beat Omonia Nicosia 3-1 in the UEFA Europa League league stage at Stadion de Goffert, turning a half-time deficit into a comfortable win with three second-half goals.

Omonia took the lead in the 23rd minute when Loïs Diony scored from Panagiotis Andreou. NEC had already been forced into an early change on 15 minutes, with Willum Thor Willumsson replacing Perr Schuurs, and went into the break trailing 1-0 after Clement Bischoff was booked in the 32nd minute.

Bryan Linssen levelled on 50 minutes from Tjaronn Chery, before NEC made two changes on 69 minutes and Omonia responded with two of their own on 72 minutes. NEC then went in front in the 74th minute when Clement Bischoff scored to make it 2-1, and Linssen, who had come on in the 69th minute, made it 3-1 on 76 minutes from Dušan Tadić's assist. Omonia made two more changes on 81 minutes, while NEC replaced Linssen with Kaj Sierhuis on 86 minutes.

NEC had 63% of the ball, 592 passes to Omonia's 351, and finished with 18 shots to six, 8 on target to three, 5 corners to two and an xG figure of 1.49 to 0.67. Omonia had more saves, 5 to 2, while the foul count was close at 11 to 12 and NEC were offside twice to Omonia once.
