Vlaar saves Feyenoord against Heracles

A late goal from defender Ron Vlaar earned Feyenoord a very hard-fought point against Heracles in Sunday’s Eredivisie action.

The visit to Rotterdam was a special occasion for Heracles manager Gert-Jan Verbeek, who coached Feyenoord for seven months in the 2008-09 season.

Things looked good for Heracles when Everton struck the away side to a 0-1 lead in the 82nd minute.

But Feyenoord limited the damage in the 90th minute as Ron Vlaar netted the equaliser and once again confirms his importance in important moments.

Feyenoord remain in fourth place in the Eredivisie while Heracles continue to occupy the sixth position.
