Former Reading FC and Ajax midfielder Pelle Clement grabbed just his second assist of the season to provide the opener for Belgian midfielder Arno Verschueren. The former Lommel man has scored eight goals this season so far.
With the score at 1-0 going into the break, Fortuna Sittard were certainly still in with a chance. However, Tobias Lauritsen struck just over 10 minutes into the second-half to make it 2-0, added his second in the 88th minute. The Norwegian forward is expected to leave the club in the summer and was of interest to Hellas Verona during the January transfer window.
