Andre Ayew produced an influential display to inspire NAC Breda to a vital 1–0 away victory over Heracles Almelo in the Eredivisie on Saturday.
The experienced Ghanaian forward played the full 90 minutes and was central to his side’s attacking efforts as they battled for a crucial result on the road. The breakthrough arrived in the 80th minute when Casper Leemans calmly converted from the penalty spot to settle a tense contest.
Ayew registered three attempts during the match, including one on target, and earned a solid 7.3 performance rating. Operating actively in and around the penalty area, he produced two efforts from inside the box and another from distance, while also contributing defensively with pressing and intelligent link-up play.
The win comes as a timely boost for Breda, who are striving to climb away from the lower end of the table. Securing maximum points on the road strengthens belief within the squad as they continue their push for top-flight survival.
Ayew’s leadership and experience proved invaluable throughout the encounter, guiding his teammates through a high-pressure fixture and helping them secure three points that could prove decisive in their season run-in.
