In the Abe Lenstra Stadium in Heerenveen, RKC Waalwijk managed to grab three points against Heerenveen on Saturday evening. Where the Waalwijkers still faced a 1-0 deficit at halftime, they turned the game around completely after the break and ended with a 1-4 victory.
In the 35th minute attacker Sydney van Hooijdonk shot Heerenveen into a 1-0 lead. The ten minutes until the break were exciting for RKC, because Heerenveen put the pressure on and a good save from keeper Vaessen was needed to keep that score.
