Aussies abroad: Hrustic scores in Eredivisie
Australian Under-23 international Ajdin Hrustic netted his first goal of the season to help his Dutch side FC Groningen to a drought-breaking win in the Eredivisie overnight.
Hrustic, a one-time Caltex Socceroo, started and scored in the 90th minute as Groningen secured a 2-0 win at home to seventh-placed PEC Zwolle.
The winger received the ball on the edge of the box before cutting inside and firing past Zwolle keeper Diederik Boer, helped by the aid of a big deflection.

The win snaps a run of four-straight draws for Groningen and leaves them in 13th spot on the table with seven matches remaining.
Elsewhere, Aussie shot-stopper Brad Jones was between the posts as Feyenoord secured a hard-fought 2-1 win at home to AZ.
