Heerenveen were looking to recover from their heavy 9-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar at the weekend. Surprisingly, Robin van Persie named the same starting eleven.

Twente were the better side from the off and after a foul on Sam Lammers was spotted by VAR, Steijn made it 1-0 from the penalty spot after 22 minutes.

Heerenveen played openly again and after Lammers missed a big chance, Steijn made it 2-0 five minutes before the break.

There was chances for both sides with Mitchell van Bergen having a goal disallowed while at the other end, the post prevented Heerenveen a goal.

The win is Twente’s second of the campaign and they are now 6th while Heerenveen is 14th.
