Mounir El Hamdaoui's double put Martin Jol's men in charge but they were pegged back by late goals from Tim Matavs and Nicklas Pederson which earned the home side a point.

Three second-half goals enabled Feyenoord to come from behind and make sure of a 3-1 victory over FC Utrecht.

Ricky Van Wolfswinkel gave visiting Utrecht a 12th-minute lead but Alje Schut's own goal seven minutes after the restart lifted the home side and they picked up all three points courtesy of further goals from Luigi Bruins and Leroy Fer.

Two second-half penalties from Lasse Nilsson helped Vitesse Arnhem come from behind to open their campaign with a 3-1 victory over ADO Den Haag.

Lex Immers gave the visitors the lead on the quarter-hour mark, but in first-half stoppage time Wiljan Pluim forced the ball home to bring Vitesse level.

Nilsson then showed a cool head from 12 yards by making no mistakes with two spot-kicks in the 57th and 71st minutes.

Matthew Amoah's late strike rescued a point for NAC Breda in a 1-1 draw at home to AZ Alkmaar.

Visiting AZ took the lead through Erik Falkenburg after 58 minutes but failed to close out the match as Amoah popped up with the leveller 11 minutes from time.
