In the 26th minute, Milan van Ewijk equalized the score in the match with a pass from Amin Sarra. And in the 36th minute Pavel Bohnevich put Heerenveen ahead, Anas Tahiri assisted him. In the middle of the second half, Heerenveen could have consolidated their advantage and avoided a nervous ending, but in the 69th minute Amin Sarr could not convert a penalty. Further, Twente actively pressed on the gates of Heerenveen, but the guests could not break through Andris Noppert any more.
After seven rounds, Heerenveen has 12 points, which allows Kees van Vonderen's teams to calmly take sixth place in the standings.
