The league campaign opener featured two teams promoted the season before. For NAC it was their first Eredivisie campaign in five years and it couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start.
After only 6 minutes, Jorg Schreuders was held in the box by Enes Mahmutovic and the defender was shown a straight red card. Leandro Bacuna scored the opening goal of the season from the penalty spot.
Luciano Valente’s excellent through ball set up Rui Mendes to make it 2-0 in the 25th minute before Marco Rente headed in a cross to make it 3-0 at the break.
Dominik Janosek’s penalty pulled one back for NAC in the second half but Schrueders then sealed the victory on a pass from Valente.
An excellent first win for Groningen, while NAC Breda must pick themselves up next week for a visit from Ajax.
