Heerenveen huddled together, looking for a way back, but couldn't find the response needed to trouble the scoreboard. A second goal after the interval settled things for good and sent the home fans away happy.

Heerenveen, meanwhile, head back to Friesland with nothing to show from the trip and a fair bit to think about going into their next outing.
