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.

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 held down by a high-scoring environment.
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.

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.
