Fortuna Sittard came to the Bingoal Stadion on Sunday, 6 September 2026 and made the perfect start, going 2-0 up by half-time against an ADO Den Haag side that simply couldn't find a way back into things early on. The visitors looked sharp and organised, taking full advantage of some sloppy home defending to put the game seemingly out of reach before the break. ADO showed far more fight after the interval and pulled two goals back to level things up, giving the home crowd hope of a comeback. But Fortuna held their nerve at the right moment and grabbed a third to seal it 2-3. It's a result that will sting for ADO given how well they responded, while Fortuna will be delighted to come away from The Hague with all three points on the road.
