Decisive figure leads Go Ahead Eagles with goal and assist | OneFootball

Melle Meulensteen set the tone in the 52nd minute, finishing from close range after a set piece as Go Ahead Eagles beat Heracles 4-0.

After the restart, Meulensteen reacted quickest to a second ball and tapped in from inside the six-yard box (52.). The midfielder's timing into the box broke the game open.

He then drove a fast break and released Mathis Suray to score with a measured pass (63.). That contribution tilted the contest decisively in the Supereagles' favour.

Meulensteen wrapped up a compelling two-way display with 48 successful passes from 54, seven possessions won and four clearances, showing control without the ball as well as incision with it.

Because he continually arrived late into the area and connected midfield to attack, the Supereagles sustained pressure and punished Heracles in transition and from dead balls.

The Supereagles climb from 15th to 13th in the Eredivisie and visit Excelsior next. Heracles host PSV next.
