Heracles started the game well, with Jelle ten Rouwelaar having to make a good saves to deny Bel Hassani, and Rienstra, while Mark Uth thought he had opened the scoring, only to be denied by the offside flag.
It was the away side who took the lead on 38 minutes when a corner was fumbled by Remko Pasveer, and Jordy Buijs fired into the net via the post.
On 61 minutes it was 2-0 to NAC Breda, as Mats Seuntjens perfect cross was powerfully headed past Pasveer by Rydell Poepon from close range.
Bryan Linssen pulled a goal back for Heracles on 71 minutes with a header at the back post following good work by Simon Cziommer.
Linssen nearly equalised before the end, but Rouwelaar made a good save, and NAC Breda held on for an important three points which moves them up to 10th in the table.
