Heerenveen starts the new season with a victory
Sc Heerenveen kicked off the 2026/2027 Eredivisie season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over FC Twente. Substitute Oyen scored the only goal of the match, giving the team under coach Van den Brom a strong start. This is a positive beginning for Heerenveen, which finished eighth last season with 51 points from 34 games.
The goal came in the 52nd minute, when Oyen, who had replaced Machine, slotted in a low shot into the near post. This was his first goal of the season, having scored just once last year. The assist came from Trenskow, who played a key role in the attack.
Twente, which had scored six goals in the European qualifiers, failed to find the net despite bringing on three strikers. Weghorst, Vennegoor of Hesselink, and Lammers tried their luck, but Heerenveen’s defense held firm. Goalkeeper Klaverboer was key with several important saves.
The win is a good sign for Heerenveen, which scored 57 goals and conceded 53 last season. With a +4 goal difference and an eighth-place finish, they hope to climb higher this season. Their next match is at home against AZ Alkmaar on September 6, who finished seventh last season.
