Late goals in Heerenveen, Willem II draw

Each side scored a late goal as Heerenveen and Willem II played out a 1-1 draw in the Eredivisie this evening.

Bruno Andrade broke 79 minutes of deadlock to put Willem ahead before Mark Uth quickly replied to earn the hosts a point.

The game at the Abe Lenstra Stadion felt for a long time to be typical of an end-of-season affair between two teams with little to play for.

Heerenveen are sixth in the league, but have fallen off the European pace, while Willem top the bottom half of the table.

It was the visitors who made the first attempts to push for a win in the final stages, but Heerenveen keeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt denied Andrade and Samuel Armenteros.

Andrade got the better of the Swede by converting Frank van der Struijk's cross, only for Uth to finish from Sam Larsson's pass two minutes later to secure Heerenveen a draw with his 15th goal of the season.
