Firstly Danny Bakker turned the ball past Sergio Padt following a clever corner routine before Dion Malone made it 2-0 moments later on the rebound. Sheraldo Becker then crossed for Mike Havenaar to head in on 23 minutes to put the hosts firmly in the driving seat. Two minutes into the second half, Malone tapped in his second to make it 4-0.
On 52 minutes, Groningen pulled one back as Mimoun Mahi slotted in from the penalty spot after Jesper Drost was pulled down in the box. Bryan Linssen then threatened a miraculous comeback with a double which in the end proved to be nothing but a consolation as ADO Den Haag held on.
The win lifts ADO Den Haag up to 13th, while Groningen are 11th.
