Jahanbakhsh Scores As Heerenveen Loses to Sparta Rotterdam

The host started brightly as Patrick van Aanholt hit the post, while Andries Noppert denied Tobias Lauritsen. Just before the half hour mark, Mitchell van Bergen made it 1-0 with a close-range tap in. Sparta remained in control and eventually, Lauritsen made it 2-0 with a penalty.

Substitute Nokkvi Thorisson then added a third with an excellent strike. Alireza Jahanbakhsh pulled one back with a penalty before the end but Sparta eased to victory and moved up to eighth. Heerenveen sits in 9th place.
