FC Twente extended their winning streak in the Dutch Eredivisie to nine games with Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Vitesse.
The only goal of the match was scored with just six minutes to go, and came from Costa Rican striker Bryan Ruiz.
As a result, the gap between Steve McClaren’s Twente and second-placed PSV grows to five points, although the latter still have Sunday’s game with Heracles ahead.
AZ Alkmaar earned a vital 2-4 win at Roda JC. Jeremain Lens put AZ ahead after just three minutes but Roda then turned things around through Pa Kah (27th) and Jeanvion Yulu Matondo (53rd).
The visiting side had the final say however. Rasmus Elm equalized in minute 70, Lens made it 2-3 five minutes later and Jonathas added a fourth away goal in the 80th minute, 2-4.
