Wins for PEC Zwolle and Feyenoord on Saturday kept both teams in the mix for the Eredivisie's European places.

Fourth-placed Zwolle are level on points with Ajax, at least until the latter's Sunday lunchtime kick-off against Roda JC, after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Heerenveen.

Michel Vlap gave the hosts a 13th-minute lead but Nicolas Freire equalised just before half-time and Mustafa Saymak struck early in the second period.

Goals from Tonny Vilhena and Nicolai Jorgensen gave Feyenoord a 2-0 win at Groningen and they are now fifth, three points behind Ajax and Zwolle.

Bartholomew Ogbeche completed his hat-trick in the last minute to earn Willem II a 3-3 draw away to VVV-Venlo.

VVV led 2-0 and 3-1 after goals from Vito van Crooy and Damian van Bruggen and a Clint Leemans penalty, but Ogbeche made the decisive contribution.

Heracles beat NAC Breda 2-1 despite falling behind to Jose Tasende's 15th-minute strike. Reuven Niemeijer immediately equalised and Paul Gladon scored a 24th-minute winner.
