Although Erik Falkenburg levelled just past the hour, the hosts had Robert Zwinkels sent off with nine minutes remaining and VVV made the extra man count inside the last six minutes through Peniel Mlapa (penalty) and Jay-Roy Grot.
Groningen improved their survival hopes with a 3-0 win over Heracles. Samir Memisevic opened the scoring with a 13th-minute penalty before Thomas Bruns netted twice in quick succession in the second half.
