Eredivisie wrap: Late lapse charges Vitesse - Soccerway

14 April 2013 00:53 Struggling Roda JC have rejected Vitesse Arnhem a crucial victory with Mitchell Donald rating a equaliser to secure a 3-3 draw. Saturday's draw refused Vitesse the possiblity to move three points free from PSV Eindhoven in 2nd position in the Eredivisie. Dutch-born Japanese striker Mike Havenaar led Vitesse in the initial half at Roda's Parkstad Limburg Stadion with two goals before half-time. Havenaar opened the score in the 26th moment, leaping high over Roda opponent Bart Biemans to mind in Renato Ibarra's mix past goalkeeper Filip Kurto. Biemans accidentally took Havenaar's legs from under him as he jumped for the header and the 25-year-old forward seemed in some pain as he landed on his back. But Havenaar recovered to perform onto Bony's film over Roda's defense and left the ball to the net after 35 minutes. The guests from Arnhem had looked on track to get three points back from Kerkrade when Bony headed Ibarra's right-wing mix house in the 55th minute. Roda's return started 3 minutes after the time draw when Vitesse defender Jan Arie van der Heijden handled the ball in his own penalty area. Malki walked up and chipped his charge down the center over visiting goalkeeper Piet Velthuizen and eight minutes later Demouge snuck in at the back post to side-foot Guus Hupperts' cross to the web. Vitesse held onto their 3-2 guide until the second-last moment of stoppage time when a header within their penalty location was flicked onto the bar before Donald reacted the loose ball home to be nodded by fastest. The draw takes Roda to 27 items, three behind AZ Alkmaar, who occupy the best position of safety on the Eredivisie dining table, while Vitesse have moved into second but just one place in front of PSV, who perform league-leaders Ajax Amsterdam on Sunday. In Almelo, a 2-0 victory was claimed by Groningen over hosts Heracles to rise above Heerenveen into seventh position, whilst in other Eredivisie results, NAC Breda beat NEC Nijmegen 2-0 and Twente won 3-1 over ADO Den Haag.
