On-loan ace creates all four goals, with Nuytinck scoring twice

NEC Nijmegen put further daylight between themselves and the relegation zone with a thrilling 4-2 home win over NAC Breda. Bram Nuytinck gave NEC an 18th minute lead, but goals in the space of three minutes from Ferne Snoyl and Anthony Lurling put NAC in front. However, Nuytinck's second of the night levelled the match 10 minutes before the break and second-half goals from Arek Radomski and Patrick Pothuizen earned NEC the points. Nuytinck opened the scoring after 18 minutes when he met a Jeffrey Sarpong corner with a firm header from six yards. NAC battled back to snatch the lead before the half-hour mark though. Snoyl drew his side level with a wonderful 25-yard free-kick after 25 minutes and three minutes later Lurling fired in a left-footed shot to stun the home faithful. That lead lasted just seven minutes as Sarpong's delivery again undid the away defence and allowed Nuytinck to head in from close range. NEC regained the advantage 12 minutes after half-time with Sarpong again the architect. This time he crossed from open play to find Radomski who had time to chest down and fire a low right-footed shot from six yards. Two minutes later NEC opened up a two-goal cushion when Sarpong, who is on loan from Ajax until the end of the season, floated a free-kick to the far post where 37-year-old defender Pothuizen headed home.
