Mohammed Ihattaren sparked the comeback in the 27th minute with a set-piece cross that levelled the score, as Fortuna Sittard won 3-2 at NEC Nijmegen. He later scored and created the third.

From a right-sided dead ball, he whipped in a teasing delivery that was converted (27.). It flipped the momentum after the hosts' opener.

After the restart, he cut inside and drilled a left-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left (59.). The midfielder kept finding space between the lines and carried the visitors up the pitch.

He then delivered from a corner for Justin Hubner to head in (65.), sealing his direct hand in all three Fortuna goals. His service repeatedly asked questions of the defence.

He finished with one goal, two assists, four key passes and four accurate crosses from six. He also won three tackles and recovered possession six times, underlining a complete display on and off the ball.

Fortuna Sittard climb from 11th to ninth and host Telstar next. NEC Nijmegen drop to fourth and face PSV in the KNVB Beker semi-finals next.
