In round 21 of the Dutch league, Heerenveen marched to the field of weak opponent Fortuna Sittard. This is an opportunity for coach Johnny Jansen’s team to think about 3 points to reach the top half of the tournament.

However, Heerenveen made home fans frustrated by losing to Fortuna Sittard 1-2. This result pushed Heerenveen down to number 9 on the table with 28 points, 6 points behind the play-off team for the European Cup.

In this match, coach Johnny Jansen still launched the strongest team in the past with Veerman, Van Bergen or captain Faik. Meanwhile, Van Hau continues to have to sit back.

Despite playing away, Heerenveen still took the initiative after the opening whistle. After many braking attempts, they scored the opening goal by Mitchell van Bergen in the 6th minute.

However, the home team Fortuna Sittard rose quickly. Just nine minutes later, they brought the match back to the starting line with a goal of Passlack. The remaining minutes saw the tit-for-tat of the two teams but no goals were scored.

Despite being underestimated, Fortuna Sittard won the game upstream

Entering the second half, Fortuna Sittard was the better team. They have conquered the game and created many opportunities towards Heerenveen’s goal. That terrible pressure sent Sven Botman into an own goal in the 74th minute, helping Fortuna Sittard take the lead with 2-1.

In the last minutes, coach Johnny Jansen launched offensive players like Jordy Bruijn, Runar Espejord or Alen Halilovic into the nuhwng field, which did not change the situation. Eventually, Heerenveen failed with a score of 1-2.
