Heerenveen's in-form German forward Mark Uth, who also set up their first goal, equalised in the 75th minute for the hosts.

Vitesse had taken the lead midway through the first half through Georgian forward Valeri Qazaishvili, but the teams were level at halftime when Luciano Slagveer netted.

Vitesse seized the advantage once more after 66 minutes as midfielder Davy Propper scored with a fine solo effort before Uth popped up to salvage a draw.
