Excelsior now has 16 points and is taking some distance from the bottom places in the Eredivisie. NAC, which lost the last three matches 1-0, is now in the penultimate place with 12 points.
With Denis Odoi (37), NAC is once again bringing a player with a lot of experience at the highest level to Breda
Denis Odoi had an unfortunate debut at NAC, which added the 37-year-old transfer-free defender to the selection last week due to personnel problems in the defense. Odoi caused a penalty midway through the first half.
After a low cross from the left, the Belgian with Ghanaian roots wanted to shoot the ball away. Excelsior’s Jerolldino Bergraaf put his foot in at the last moment and went to the ground after contact with Odoi. Referee Serdar Gözübüyük gave a penalty. Noah Naujoks, who had already scored twice against Ajax, used the penalty: 1-0.
NAC Breda pressed after the break and had the upper hand. Moussa Soumano hit the post with a header from close range. However, the equalizer did not materialize.
