Cambuur – NEC Nijmegen

Cambuur’s trip to the NEC Nijmegen stadium ended in a commanding 3‑0 victory, lifting the hosts to 15th place with four points after a win, a draw and four defeats. The three‑goal margin not only improved their goal difference to –9 but also widened the gap to the 10th‑placed NEC, who remain on seven points from two wins, a draw and three losses. The win also gave Cambuur the edge in their head‑to‑head this season, having taken the sole encounter between the clubs. Meanwhile, NEC’s three‑point deficit to the leaders grew as they slipped further from the playoff spots.
