After 28 minutes, Volendam silenced the home crowd when Bilal Ould-Chikh raced onto a long ball before flicking it past Andries Noppert. Six minutes into the second half, Lequincio Zeefuik doubled the lead with some nice footwork in the box before slotting the ball low past Noppert.
Ion Nicolaescu pulled one back for Heerenveen, who pushed forward for a late equaliser, but Volendam managed to hold on for a precious win.
