    Groningen moved up to ninth in the Eredivisie standings with a 2-0 home victory over struggling Roda JC on Friday.

    Mimoun Mahi gave the hosts a 10th-minute lead when he tapped home at the far post for his fifth goal of the season.

    Ton van Hyfte had Roda's best chance but substitute Alexander Sorloth secured Groningen's third win in four games from close range after 71 minutes.

    While Groningen climb up the table, Roda remain one place off the bottom having won only once this season.

    Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord are not in action until Sunday when they travel to AZ Alkmaar.

    Ajax, who only trail Feyenoord on goal difference, go to FC Twente in the final game of the weekend while PSV Eindhoven have a chance to close the gap when they host Go Ahead Eagles on Saturday.
