Heerenveen and Roda JC played out a goalless draw in the first game of the new Eredivisie season.

Having finished fifth last term, Trond Sollied's Heerenveen were looking to make a winning start in their bid to challenge the top clubs.

However, Roda kept Heerenveen at bay to emerge with a creditable point that suggests they could enjoy a more comfortable campaign than last term.

Roda only stayed up after a penalty shoot-out victory over Cambuur Leeuwarden in a promotion/relegation play-off.

The rest of the teams in the Eredivisie play their first games of the season this weekend, with defending champions AZ Alkmaar facing Heracles Almelo.
