Heracles Almelo 3:2 FC Den Bosch — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Jean-Paul N'Djoli scored twice as Heracles Almelo edged out FC Den Bosch 3-2 in a frantic Eerste Divisie contest, with Chafik Abbas the standout performer despite not finding the net. The home side trailed twice but snatched victory with Tristan van Gilst's 88th-minute winner, leaving Den Bosch to rue a wasteful afternoon.

The turning point arrived in a chaotic final quarter-hour, as N'Djoli's second goal in the 74th minute, set up by David Vicente, levelled matters after Sebastian Karlsson Grach had restored Den Bosch's lead on 62 minutes following N'Djoli's opener on the stroke of half-time. Karlsson Grach struck again unassisted in the 87th minute, only for Van Gilst to win it a minute later, with Kevin Felida's early yellow card the only booking.

The numbers told a brutal story for Den Bosch, who had 65% possession against Heracles' 35% yet managed just seven shots to the hosts' 30, and while their xG of 2.43 edged Heracles' 2.20, the second half saw them surrender 71% of the ball before a late collapse. Abbas earned an 8.2 rating from his forward berth despite no goal, the top mark on the pitch. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Den Bosch, and the result did not confirm it, though live signals backed Heracles at 1.15 and proved correct.
