Excelsior beat NAC Breda 2-0 at the Rat Verlegh Stadion to rise from 13th to 10th in the Eredivisie, while the hosts slip from 17th to 18th.
Rio Hillen was sent off in the 12th minute after a VAR review upgraded the card, leaving NAC short-handed.
Emil Hansson broke the deadlock with a low finish (18.). Irakli Yegoian then doubled the lead from Gyan de Regt's pass (31.).
Stijn van Gassel made six saves as the visitors held firm. NAC registered 15 attempts and hit six on target but could not find a way through.
There was an early stoppage for Noah Naujoks' injury, with Jerolldino Bergraaf coming on soon after. NAC later turned to André Ayew, Lewis Holtby and Clint Leemans from the bench, yet Moussa Soumano spurned chances in the closing stages.
