Tengstedt’s strike sparks Go Ahead’s dream start as ADO chase points

Søren Tengstedt’s long‑range corner sparked Go Ahead Eagles’ opening goal, a decisive strike that set the tone in Deventer as the Danish winger also provided the assist in a 3‑1 victory over ADO Den Haag, handing the visitors their third defeat in a row at the start of the new Eredivisie-seizoen.

Tengstedt's decisive strike and scoring spree

The Deense winger was the clear difference‑maker, delivering both a goal and an assist that secured the win for the promoted side. His contribution turned the match into ADO’s third consecutive loss.

Earlier in the campaign Tengstedt had already found the net against Willem II and Feyenoord, and he added another tally against ADO, confirming his early impact.

Debutant Othniël Raterink was completely outplayed; the De Deen then curled a long corner that produced the 1‑0 lead, his third goal of the season and fourth Eredivisie match in a row he has scored. He became the first Go Ahead player since Harry Decheiver in 1995 to score in four consecutive games and can already claim the Eredivisie top‑scorer title with three strikes.

ADO's hunt for Eredivisie-punten and early table impact

After two defeats ADO travelled to Deventer seeking their first Eredivisie-punten of the season, but they met a man in form and struggled to find accuracy in the final pass.

In the second half Go Ahead dominated; after attempts from Evert Linthorst and Mathis Suray, Tengstedt delivered a backheel to Victor Edvardsen, who calmly finished from the short corner to make it 2‑0.

Robin Peter injected attacking impetus, while substitute Jesse Bal came close before new goalkeeper Kjetil Haug kept a clean sheet. Evan Rottier then reduced the deficit to 2‑1 with a close‑range finish.

ADO created a late chance to equalise, but Dean James found Stefán Sigurdarson, who scored for the third consecutive match as a Go Ahead substitute, sealing a 3‑1 result. The victory gave Joseph Oosting’s side seven points after three games.
