Χέρενφεν vs Φέγενορντ

Heerenveen beat Feyenoord 5-3 at the Abe Lenstra Stadion, coming back from 2-0 down. Ringo Meerveld scored a hat-trick, and it was the first league defeat of the season for the visitors. Anis Hadj-Moussa put Feyenoord ahead after 25 minutes, finishing at the far post from a Nacho Ferri pass. Five minutes later Ferri scored from the spot, after a Givairo Read cross hit the arm of Vasilios Zagaritis. Referee Danny Makkelie gave it on his linesman's advice, and Rijnmond called it debatable. Maas Willemsen pulled one back at the end of the first half and Levi Smans levelled in the 47th minute with a deflected shot. Meerveld made it 3-2 in the 61st minute, Sem Steijn equalised in the 69th, and Meerveld then added two more, the last from a rebound. Feyenoord are now five games without a win and risk losing top spot. They host Excelsior on 21 November, the same day Heerenveen visit Groningen.
