Standout star carries the Nijmegen side past Go Ahead Eagles | OneFootball

Noé Lebreton headed NEC Nijmegen in front in the 12th minute and his brace ultimately delivered a 2-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles.

The midfielder stole in at the near post to glance home from a corner (12.). He kept arriving from deep, a constant target for second balls and cut-backs.

Lebreton then rattled the right post from the centre of the box (27.). Moments later, he reacted first to sweep a left footed finish into the bottom corner from close range (27.).

He combined bite with creativity throughout, finishing with four attempts, seven chances created and 10 possessions won. Six tackles and five clearances underlined how he dominated both boxes.

With set pieces and central surges suiting his timing, Lebreton's movement repeatedly unsettled the Supereagles and ensured Nijmegen controlled the game's key phases.

The display crowns a league campaign that lifts Nijmegen from fourth to third and into Champions League qualification. The Supereagles finish 12th.
