One player makes the difference for Fortuna Sittard in Groningen | OneFootball

Lance Duijvestijn headed the decisive goal in the 32nd minute as Fortuna Sittard won 2-1 at Groningen. His all-action display underpinned the visitors' best moments either side of the break.

He had already drawn a smart save early on. Then, meeting Ivo Pinto's right-side delivery, Duijvestijn attacked the back post and guided a close-range header into the bottom corner with conviction.

After the restart he continued to knit attacks together, sliding Kristoffer Peterson into space for an effort that was blocked (75.). His persistent runs kept Groningen pinned back as Fortuna Sittard managed the key phases.

He finished with three attempts, all on target, and two key passes, plus 23 successful final third passes that sustained pressure. Out of possession he added three clearances and seven recoveries, rounding off a decisive two-way shift.
