Decisive figure's brace propels NEC Nijmegen to a statement away win | OneFootball

Bryan Linssen opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a composed right-footed finish, setting NEC Nijmegen on course for a 3-2 victory at PSV. The forward later struck again before the interval.

The striker set the tone from a fast break, timing his run to the right side of the box and drilling low across the goalkeeper. It gave the visitors the platform they needed.

He then doubled the advantage (38.), taking Kodai Sano's pass on the move and guiding a precise shot into the centre of the goal.

Linssen kept asking questions after the restart. He dragged one wide from the centre (71.). Moments later, a close-range effort was saved (73.).

He finished with six attempts, three on target, and eight touches in the box, a constant presence whose movement stretched the Boeren back line and kept NEC Nijmegen in control of the key moments.

NEC Nijmegen host Heerenveen next in the Eredivisie. The Boeren visit Telstar.
