უტრეხტი - NEC ნეიმეხენი

NEC won 3-2 at Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday night, ending a run of eight league games without a win. Utrecht fought back from two goals down but could not find an equaliser. Kevin Kers put the visitors ahead with a header in the 34th minute from a Mitchel Bakker cross. Four minutes later Dusan Tadic placed a shot home to make it 2-0. Yoann Cathline pulled one back in the 56th with a tap-in after a run from Angel Alarcon, but Tadic restored the two-goal lead in the 58th, converting the rebound after Vasilios Barkas saved a header from Darko Nejasmic. Dani de Wit headed in a Nordin Amrabat cross in the 64th to make it 2-3. Utrecht had a penalty appeal turned down around the 20-minute mark, when VAR looked at Cathline going down in the box and left the decision alone. Matisse Didden later fired wide of an empty net, and Gonzalo Crettaz made saves to keep the lead. The result moves NEC up to 11th on 14 points. Utrecht drop to 14th on 12 points, having swapped places with them, and coach Anthony Correia is under pressure.
