SC Heerenveen vs FC Twente
Sept. 20th 2009



Miroslav Stoch had an excellent day, helping to defend against the early Heerenveen pressure before opening his FC Twente account in the 22nd minute. The goal was a nice give and go with Nkofu finished by Stoch. Twente should have been up 2-0 soon after but Ruiz failed to finish what Stoch had started. Ruiz made up for his earlier mistake putting Stoch through on goal in the 72nd. Stoch didn't disappoint slotting home for his second on the day.
