Eredivisie Wrap: Feyenoord stay in touch

Saturday's fixtures saw Vitesse, Ajax and Twente all win, meaning the pressure was on Feyenoord to pick up a result.

Nineteen-year-old winger Jean-Paul Boetius opened the scoring in the ninth minute as he chipped the ball over Kristoffer Nordfeldt in the opposing goal.

Lex Immers doubled Feyenoord's lead seven minutes later with a powerful low shot from just inside the area and, although Sven van Beek scored an own goal in first-half injury time, Heerenveen were unable to draw level.

Michiel Kramer's 32nd-minute strike looked set to decide proceedings in Den Haag's favour, only for Johan Kappelhof to equalise with 11 minutes remaining.

Doke Schmidt and Erik Falkenburg struck in the first 15 minutes to put Go Ahead 2-0 up, with goals from Jarchinio Antonia and Jop van der Linden, the latter's from the penalty spot, making sure of the win in the second half.

Heracles completed their fourth Eredivisie away win of the season at Roda in Sunday's final match.

An Oussama Tannane double in the last 11 minutes completed a fine turnaround for Jan de Jonge's men.
