Groningen stroll past ADO Den Haag

A commanding 4-1 victory sees Groningen comfortably outclass the hosts.

Groningen set the tone early with T. van Bergen opening the scoring in the 15th minute, followed by B. Willumsson and D. van der Werff adding to the tally before half-time. Despite Y. Eduardo's effort for ADO Den Haag after the break, Nils Eggens sealed the emphatic win with a late goal. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of an away win was on the money, though the margin was far more convincing than expected.
