Paul Wanner hit the post (25.), and Etienne Vaessen twice denied Ismael Saibari before the interval as the leaders pushed back. Saibari then levelled with a close-range header from Mauro Júnior's cross (65.).

Substitute Dennis Man completed the comeback with a low finish after a corner (76.), sealing a win for the Boeren.

The Boeren finished with 63% possession and registered 15 attempts. Groningen produced eight attempts from 37% of the ball. Mauro Júnior sits third in the Eredivisie assists chart this season with eight.

Groningen host Utrecht next. The Boeren visit Volendam next.
