Decisive figure converts late penalty to lift NAC Breda at Heracles

Clint Leemans won it in the 80th minute with a composed penalty, giving NAC Breda a 1-0 victory at Heracles.

VAR confirmed the spot kick and Leemans sent his left-footed effort into the top left corner, a calm finish that capped the visitors' most incisive move late on.

The midfielder's influence stretched beyond the decisive moment. He finished with three attempts, two on target, plus five clearances and two key passes, combining set-piece threat with steady midfield control.

He kept Breda ticking with 41 accurate passes from 54, regularly finding the final third to relieve pressure, before being replaced as the visitors protected the lead (85.).

NAC Breda rise from 18th to 16th. Heracles slip from 17th to 18th. NAC Breda host Volendam next. Heracles visit Go Ahead Eagles next.
