The 24-year-old, who moved to NEC Nijmegen during the week, had to settle for a spot on the substitute bench for now. The new signing did not feature in his new employer's 4-1 away victory against Willem II Tilburg.
Adam Tahaui gave "Eniesee" the lead shortly before the break (45.+2), and after halftime, Tjaronn Chery (54.), Bryan Linssen (64.), and Kaj Sierhuis (67.) secured the win. The hosts managed a consolation goal through Thomas Verheydt (78.).
These are the first points for the third-placed team from last season's Eredivisie, after a poor start to the season at home against Telstar (1-2).
Austrian duel awaits next weekend
Things went better for another new signing: Almugera Kabar, who arrived on loan from Borussia Dortmund just the day before, already played his first minutes in an NEC shirt in the final phase of the match.
Polster's next chance to play comes next Wednesday: The third-placed team from last season's Eredivisie will face Bodö/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League playoffs.
Next Saturday, an Austrian duel could take place against Excelsior Rotterdam and Valentin Sulzbacher.
