Willem II vs Fortuna Sittard

Willem II fell to a 0-1 home defeat against Fortuna Sittard at Koning Willem II Stadion, undone by a late strike after a tense, chance-filled afternoon. Philip Brittijn broke the deadlock in the 80th minute, converting the rebound after Lequincio Zeefuik's header was saved by goalkeeper Maxime Delanghe. Fortuna had earlier seen a penalty shout for a foul on Ivo Pinto overturned by VAR, while Willem II's best chance fell to Devin Haen, denied one-on-one by Mattijs Branderhorst. Zeefuik also had a goal chalked off for a foul in the build-up shortly before Brittijn's winner. The result lifts Fortuna Sittard up to sixth in the Eredivisie standings, extending their solid start to the season. Willem II, meanwhile, slump to a sixth consecutive loss and remain bottom of the table with just two points, leaving them deep in relegation trouble.
