Feyenoord beaten; Groningen leave it late; De Graafschap rally
Feyenoord were undone in the closing stages by NAC Breda, Groningen left it late against FC Utrecht and De Graafschap hit back against ADO Den Haag.
A late flourish saw
NAC Breda snatch a welcome three points at home to Rotterdam giants
Feyenoord.
Feyenoord had the better share of the chances for much of the game and went close through Ron Vlaar more than once.
However, Robbert Schilder broke the deadlock for NAC six minutes from time and doubled his tally in added time when Feyenoord's Bruno Martins Indi was dismissed and the resulting free-kick was converted.
Brace
Andreas Granqvist struck from the penalty spot five minutes from time as
Groningen secured a 1-0 victory over
FC Utrecht.
Hugo Bargas' brace saw
De Graafschap battle from two goals down to secure a point from a 2-2 draw in their Eredivisie encounter at
ADO Den Haag.
Dmitri Bulykin had put the hosts ahead in the 11th minute and substitute Kevin Visser doubled their advantage with virtually his first touch in the 71st.
But Bargas pulled one back two minutes later and then notched again with a spectacular overhead kick two minutes from time to earn the visitors their fourth point of the season.
