Standout star orchestrates NEC Nijmegen's win at Willem II | OneFootball

Tjaronn Chery put NEC Nijmegen clear in the 54th minute with a close-range finish, as they beat Willem II 4-1.

Chery arrived in the box after the restart and steered a right-footed effort into the bottom-right corner, tilting the game decisively towards NEC Nijmegen.

He then turned provider, sliding a through ball that Kaj Sierhuis converted (67.). Late on, another left-footed attempt from Chery was saved by Karst de Leeuw (88.).

Chery's end product matched his control: one goal, one assist, four attempts and three chances created. He also completed 42 of 47 passes, with 14 successful in the final third, repeatedly feeding runners and sustaining pressure.

Because NEC Nijmegen's midfield paired him between the lines with willing movement ahead, Chery kept Willem II's back line off balance and ensured the visitors controlled the key phases after the interval.

NEC Nijmegen rise from 13th to eighth. Willem II drop from 17th to 18th. NEC Nijmegen visit Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League next, while Willem II host Heerenveen.
