With the victory, Groningen comes at 12 points from six games. The other teams at the top of the Eredivisie have played one or two matches less. Telstar, which still won his last away match at PSV (0-2), is in sixteenth place with 4 points.
Telstar took the initiative after the opening phase. The visitors were close to a lead via Kay Tejan, but the striker shot on the bar. Tyrese Noslin then got a head opportunity before Groningen scored against the ratio after half an hour. Younes Taha signed for the 1-0 with a nice free kick from a great distance.
Oskar Zawada decides the meeting
After the goal, Groningen was the better team. Jorg Schreuders and Stijst Resink were dangerous, while Telstar keeper Ronald Koeman immediately saved on a deployment by Taha. Telstar kept hopeful on a result, but Oskar Zawada decided the game in the 88th minute. The goal was approved, despite a handed push from declarant Wouter Prins in the structure.
