Fortuna Sittard beat SC Cambuur 3-1 in the Eredivisie, taking the points despite being second best for long spells. A fast start put them two up inside 15 minutes, and although Cambuur pulled one back, Fortuna's early work proved decisive.
Philip Brittijn opened the scoring after six minutes with Mohamed Ihattaren assisting, and Lequincio Zeefuik doubled the lead on 15 minutes from Jasper Dahlhaus's pass. Rafik el Arguioui pulled one back for Cambuur on 22 minutes, with Nicky Souren assisting, but Shiloh 't Zand settled it in the 90th minute after Ivo Pinto set him up. Lucas Jetten and Nicky Souren were booked in the second half.
Cambuur dominated possession (64%) and had the better xG (2.53 to 1.59) and more big chances (four to one), yet Fortuna's goalkeeper made six saves and the hosts still won. It was a game won on early efficiency rather than control, with Cambuur missing three of their four big chances.
