Match Report
NEC Nijmegen signed off their Eredivisie campaign in style, beating Go Ahead Eagles 2-1 at the Goffertstadion on the final matchday, with Noé Lebreton delivering a commanding brace to seal three points.
Lebreton broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, converting a Başar Önal corner with a precise header, then doubled NEC's lead with a left-footed strike in the 27th. Go Ahead Eagles showed plenty of fight after the break, halving the deficit when Søren Tengstedt finished neatly in the 55th minute from a Victor Edvardsen pass, but the visitors could not find an equaliser despite pressing hard through four minutes of stoppage time. No red cards or penalties added to the drama.
The win helps NEC Nijmegen close out the season in third place, a platform that keeps European ambitions firmly in view. Go Ahead Eagles, finishing 12th, will look to use the summer to rebuild and push higher next term.
