Robben, who captained Groningen, opened the scoring in the 17th minute in typical fashion, bending the ball into the top corner from outside the box with his left foot.
It was Robben’s first goal for the club since 2002, and that hit came at his old ground: Oosterpark Stadium.
Robben will look to appear in his first competitive match next Sunday when Groningen host PSV Eindhoven in the league.
Groningen was in ninth position in the table before the 2019-20 campaign was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic in April.
