BREDA, Netherlands (Interstat) — NAC Breda delivered a stunning and lopsided victory on Saturday, overwhelming Willem II 6-0 in a Week 33 Eerste Divisie match that defied all pregame projections.

The contest, played before a home crowd at Rat Verlegh Stadion, saw NAC Breda dominate from the outset, building a multi-goal lead long before the official scoring summary began. The statistical service Interstat had projected a narrow 2-1 win for NAC Breda, assigning them just a 52 percent probability of victory. The actual result was a comprehensive rout that showcased NAC Breda’s attacking efficiency.

The game’s disciplinary actions arrived well before any goals. Willem II’s Lucas Woudenberg was shown a yellow card in the 7th minute, setting a tense early tone. The second half saw a flurry of bookings: Willem II’s Erik Schouten received a yellow in the 57th minute, followed immediately by a yellow for NAC Breda defender Boyd Lucassen in the 58th. Willem II’s Wessel Dammers was also cautioned in the 69th minute.

The match’s first goal finally came in the 74th minute, but it was for the visiting side. Wessel Dammers, recently booked, provided an assist to attacker Elton Daniël Kabangu, who found the net to temporarily cut into what was already a significant NAC Breda lead. Kabangu, from Kortrijk, Belgium, played the full 90 minutes.

NAC Breda sealed its emphatic performance with a final goal in the 90th minute. Substitute Ezechiel Banzuzi, who had entered the match in the 67th minute, scored a goal assisted by the aforementioned Boyd Lucassen of Doetinchem, Netherlands. Lucassen also played the entire match.

The victory improves NAC Breda’s record within the Eerste Divisie competition to one win and no losses. Their overall record across all competitions this season now stands at six wins, 15 losses and four draws. The team entered the match having won two of its last three outings, including a 1-0 victory over Heracles on Feb. 14.

Willem II’s record in the Eerste Divisie falls to one win, one loss and one draw following the defeat. Their overall mark across all competitions is identical. They had drawn 2-2 with MVV in their previous contest last November.

NAC Breda will look to build on this decisive win when they continue their Eerste Divisie schedule. Their next match is scheduled for April 5 at home against Jong Sparta. They will then face Fortuna Sittard on the road April 12, followed by a home match against Ajax on April 25. The season continues with matches at Utrecht on May 2, at home against Heerenveen on May 10, and at AZ on May 17.
