Match Recap

NEC Nijmegen trailed inside Zagreb and still walked out with all three points, and they did it with a one-two punch up front. Dion Drena Beljo had Dinamo level at 2-2 by the half-hour mark with goals in the 33rd and 37th minutes, but Bryan Linssen answered twice himself, either side of the break, before Tjaronn Chery sealed it in the 80th. Six goals, two braces, one wild afternoon in the UEFA Europa League. Clement Bischoff opened the scoring for the away side back in the 25th minute, and from there the game never settled. The 4-2 final line flatters neither side's league form: Dinamo Zagreb sit 14th with four points from two games, NEC Nijmegen even further back at 27th with just one, and this result flips the form table on its head. For a match that looked like it belonged to the hosts for a spell, it's NEC who leave Croatia with the win. Watch Linssen's second strike and Chery's late dagger, the two goals that turned a home collapse into a away party.
