The home side started the game brightly, and had couple of opportunities to break the deadlock. However, the Heerenveen goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kristoffer-Nordfeldt-c21435, made a brilliant diving save to deny Mike Havenaar’s headed effort from going into the back of the net,
before the Japanese ace was denied by the post from breaking the deadlock.
In the 36th minute, the Friesland outfit managed to grab the lead, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jukka-Raitala-c19885 low pass from the left flank.

minute, with the latter finding the back of the net.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arnold-Kruiswijk-c6639 brought down Bony inside the box, and the Ivorian ace coolly converted the
resulting spot kick to seal the 3-3 draw.
