Decisive figure clinches it for Groningen after the restart | OneFootball

Tygo Land settled it in the 56th minute with a low right-footed finish, as Groningen beat Heracles 2-1 in Almelo.

Arriving on the right side of the box, he steered Marco Rente's pass into the bottom corner (56.).

After the restart he kept knitting attacks together, receiving between the lines and recycling possession to slow Heracles' press.

He completed 37 of 38 passes and delivered 11 successful final third passes, providing control when it mattered. His only attempt on target became the winner.

Because he drifted off the right and combined intelligently, Heracles' back line had to collapse, letting Groningen progress through midfield and manage the decisive phases.

Groningen finish ninth in the Eredivisie table. Heracles end 18th in relegation.
