Jean-Paul N'djoli (Heracles), rated 9.5
Heracles took control and never let MVV settle. Sil Wegen gave MVV the lead in the 33rd minute, finishing Yael Liesdek’s cross, but Maurice Wrusch replied eight minutes later and Heracles turned it around before the break through Chafik Abbas, set up by Jean-Paul N'djoli. After halftime, Heracles kept the ball and kept finding the spaces MVV could not close: Manny made it 3-1 five minutes into the second half, N'djoli added the fourth after Abbas’s second assist, and Sven Bouland’s own goal sealed the scoreline late on. N'djoli was named player of the match, and he earned it with the pass for Abbas, the goal for 4-1, and the hand in the moves that broke MVV open. MVV stay ninth on 16 points after 11 games; Heracles remain top on 28.
