Go Ahead Eagles have secured a narrow 1-0 win against 10-man ADO Den Haag in this afternoon's Eredivisie clash at De Adelaarshorst.
The opening stages of the game saw both sides effectively cancel each other out with a series of duels and tackles in midfield.
Lars Lambooij had a chance for the hosts just before the quarter-hour mark, but his effort was successfully thwarted by Timothy Derijck.
Five minutes before half time, the Eagles were awarded a penalty after a Vito Wormgoor challenge in the box that saw him receive his marching orders.
Jop van der Linden stepped up and fired home from the spot to put the hosts ahead, a lead they would hold come the break.
The hosts continued to press forward following the restart, as Marnix Kolder bore down on goal before shooting just wide.
Ultimately, Den Haag were unable to muster up much of a threat, and so Foeke Booy's charges ended the game with all three points.
