AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The home side doubled their advantage soon after the hour when Victor Edvardsen converted a Tengstedt assist in the 64th minute, and it looked to be settling into a comfortable evening for Joseph Oosting's team. Den Haag responded through Evan Rottier, who pulled one back in the 78th minute after Milan Hokke's assist, briefly giving the visitors hope of a way back into the contest.
Any lingering doubt was erased in stoppage time when Stefán Sigurðarson, set up by Dean James, restored the two-goal cushion in the first minute of added time to make it 3-1. The result lifted GO Ahead Eagles to second in the table on seven points from three games, while Den Haag stayed eighteenth without a point.
Tengstedt scored the opener and laid on the second for Edvardsen, an involvement in both of the first two goals that earned him the highest rating on the pitch at 8.3.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave GO Ahead Eagles 57%, the draw 24%, ADO Den Haag 19%. It finished GO Ahead Eagles 3–1 ADO Den Haag.
GO Ahead Eagles' rating edge carries it — GO Ahead Eagles are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of GO Ahead Eagles' 57%. The draw at 24% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why GO Ahead Eagles at 57%?
GO Ahead Eagles sit 162 points higher on our strength rating — 1574 to 1412. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,730 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 58–21–21.
Why only 57%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims GO Ahead Eagles's column. Across 10,693 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.8 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,983. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
GO Ahead Eagles scored +0.63 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,786 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. ADO Den Haag are newly promoted — game 3 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen.
