Twente Enschede's Douglas Franco

Twente
Enschede earned a 2-0 home win over Roda JC Kerkrade with second-half
goals from Douglas and Wesley Verhoek on Saturday to move within a point
of Dutch league leaders AZ Alkmaar.

Central defender Douglas notched the opener 10 minutes after the break
before Verhoek scored his first goal for Steve McClaren's Twente seven
minutes from time to seal the victory.

Alkmaar, in action on Sunday at Vitesse Arnhem (1430 GMT), are top with
56 points after 27 matches, one ahead of Ajax Amsterdam, who host
Heracles Almelo (1230), and Twente.

Lacklustre PSV Eindhoven were still good enough to beat strugglers VVV
Venlo 2-0 with Tim Matavz and Memphis Depay on target while Ola Toivonen
missed a penalty after 70 minutes.

PSV are fourth with 54 points, ahead of Feyenoord and Heerenveen on
goal difference after the pair registered 3-1 wins at home to NAC Breda
and at Groningen respectively.

Feyenoord's Otman Bakkal struck from distance after three minutes to
put his side ahead but Omer Bayram equalised with a long drive that
surprised goalkeeper Erwin Mulder.

However, Feyenoord restored their lead through Ruben Schaken with Sekou Cisse also on target before the interval.

Heerenveen's Bas Dost took his tally to 25 as the league's leading scorer notched a double in the win over Groningen.
