Heerenveen continues streak with 2-0 victory over Roda JC
By: Porter | January 25th, 2009
Following victories over Feyenoord this week in Eredivisie action and in the KNVB Cup, Heerenveen continued on its winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Roda JC. However the victory was far from easy as the visiting side from Kerkrade put forth a strong effort.
Trond Sollied’s side nearly brought Abe Lenstra Stadion to its feet early as Danijel Pranjić and Arnór Smárason came close to linking up for the first score in the first minute. However following the early inspiration the match settled down and just when it appeared to be going to the break without a score, Eric Addo, who just came over to Roda JC from PSV, gave up the ball to Danijel Pranjić at the fortieth minute. The Croatian international set the wheel in motion with Christian Grindheim eventually providing Roy Beerens the chance to close out the first goal of the match.
After the restart the visitors continued their impressive form as they hunted for the equalizer however at the fifty-third minute Edwin Linssen brought down Roy Beerens in the area and the spot was pointed to. Veteran Danijel Pranjić calmly sent the ball into the netting to give Heerenveen the two goal margin. For the balance fo the match as much as Roda JC tried to break Brian Vandenbussche’s goal-line the new found Friesland defending could not be breached.

Thanks, I think you and I are on the same patch with Danijel Pranjić after reading your blog.
Do you get to follow many HNL matches? I can’t wait for Dinamo Zagreb – Hajduk Split next month.
I was going to ask about writing a full blog on the league but do not know if many would be interested.
