Go Ahead Eagles 5-0 NEC Nijmegen
Oliver Edvardsen scored a hattrick within 25 minutes as Go Ahead Eagles hammered NEC Nijmegen.
NEC committed several errors early on and it led to Edvardsen opening the scoring after only five minutes before the striker added a second only a minute later. In the 10th minute, Bram Nuytinck gave the ball away and Eric Llansana finished off on the counter for the third.
Another error from Nuytinck then led to Edvardsen completing his hattrick in the 25th minute and that led to NEC coach Rogier Meijer substituting the centre-back along with Brayann Pereira.
From that point, NEC looked to keep the score down but Go Ahead Eagles did make it 5-0 before the hour with Dean James scoring a free kick.
Go Ahead Eagles are in 8th while NEC is down in 11th.

Just before the break, NAC Breda took the lead as Jan van den Bergh headed in a Clint Leemans corner.
Sparta improved after the break and Joshua Kitolano had an effort cleared off the line. Just as the hosts were pushing, NAC doubled their lead with Boy Kemper heading in a Leemans free kick.
The defeat leaves Sparta in 16th and NAC in 7th.
RKC Waalwijk 2-3 Feyenoord

After only 12 minutes, RKC had the lead with a through ball by Richonell Margaret setting Oskar Zawada in on goal and he fired past the onrushing Timon Wellenreuther.
The equaliser came 12 minutes later when Yassin Oukili worked the ball into his own net under pressure from David Hancko.
Four minutes into the second half, Anis Hadj Moussa cut inside before firing low into the bottom corner. However, RKC hit back with Oukili working in a corner to make it 2-2 in the 72nd minute.

Heracles Almelo 2-2 Fortuna Sittard
Heracles and Fortuna Sittard played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in Almelo.

On the hour mark, Ruben Roosken made it 2-2 with a free shot from the edge of the sixteen yard line. That proved to be the final goal of the match as both sides missed opportunities to win it.
Heracles is in 15th and Fortuna in 9th.
