Twente had to work for this one. ADO Den Haag came to De Grolsch Veste on Saturday, 12 September 2026 with a plan, and for 45 minutes it worked a treat. Nothing separated the two sides at the break, with the home crowd growing a little restless as chances went begging. The breakthrough never looked far away in the second half, though, and once it came the game opened up nicely in Twente's favour. In the end it finished 2-0, a scoreline that flattered neither side really - Twente were the better team once they found their rhythm after the interval, and ADO simply had no answer once the goals started going in. It's another three points on the board for Twente, who will be pleased with how comfortably they shut the game down once ahead. For ADO, it's a long trip home with very little to show for a disciplined first-half effort.
