Match Report

Heerenveen opened their 2026/27 Eredivisie campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Twente at the Abe Lenstra Stadion, a result settled by a moment of instant impact from the bench rather than a sustained spell of pressure. The only goal came in the 52nd minute, when Oyen, on for the injured Machine, drilled a low shot into the short corner off an assist from Trenskow just minutes after entering the pitch. Twente dominated large stretches of possession and threw on three strikers late on, with Weghorst, Vennegoor of Hesselink, and Lammers all introduced to chase an equalizer. Weghorst came closest with a header that drifted just wide in the third minute of stoppage time, but the visitors could not find a way through. No red cards or penalties were shown. For Heerenveen, it's the ideal start to the season, three points banked on the back of a gritty defensive display and a super-sub's decisive touch. Twente, meanwhile, arrived off a European fixture and leave empty-handed, their attacking depth unable to break down a resolute home side.
