Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Melle Meulensteen struck once and set up another as Go Ahead Eagles came from behind to thrash Willem II Tilburg 4-1 in the Eredivisie. It was a ruthless second-half display that turned a narrow deficit into a rout, though the win sets up no further fixture as none is scheduled.

Willem II struck first when Devin Haen converted Nathan Tjoe-A-On's cross in the 13th minute, but Go Ahead levelled just after the half-hour as Søren Tengstedt finished from Meulensteen's pass. The match swung decisively after the interval, with Meulensteen heading home Mathis Suray's delivery on 61 minutes, Erik Flataker Hovden doubling the lead two minutes later from Victor Kaj Edvardsen's assist, and Julius Dirksen sealing the scoring in the 69th minute, again from Suray.

The numbers told a tale of dominance without reward for the visitors, who had shaded the opening half but were overwhelmed thereafter. Go Ahead held 69% possession and fired 19 shots to Willem II's 13, with an xG of 2.35 against 1.46, while the second half saw them tighten their grip to 74% possession. Meulensteen was the standout, earning an 8.3 rating for his goal and assist from midfield. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Willem II, but the result emphatically confounded it, with live signals backing Go Ahead at 2.45 and proving correct.
