Just before the break, Groningen had the lead as a Ngonge cross hit the leg of George Cox before ending up in the net. Six minutes into the second half it was 3-1 as Daleho Irandust tapped in after Yanick van Osch parried a strike from Laros Duarte.
Things went from bad to worse for the hosts as Roel Janssen saw red for a hard tackle on Mo El Hankouri. Jørgen Strand Larsen then added a fourth goal for Groningen with a calm finish after a through ball by Irandust.
