FC Twente drew 0-0 with Groningen on Sunday to stay unbeaten but leave PSV Eindhoven on top of the Dutch league.

Injury-hit Twente was fortunate not to lose as Groningen peppered goalkeeper Sander Boschker with numerous first-half shots.

In the second half, Groningen's Tim Mativaz hit a post and teammate Thomas van Enevoldsen's attempt was cleared off the goal line by defender Dwight Tiendalli.

On Friday, PSV beat NEC Nijmegen 3-0 after two goals by Ola Toivonen and another from Nordin Amrabat.

PSV leads with 51 points, two more than Twente.

Third-place Ajax beat defending champion AZ Alkmaar 1-0 at home from Gregory van der Wiel's 63rd-minute goal.

Van der Wiel scored after trading passes with Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan who is the league's top scorer with 18 so far this season and who signed a contract extension earlier this week through 2013.

Also Sunday, it was: Sparta Rotterdam 0, ADO The Hague 0 and VVV Venlo 1, Feyenoord 1.

On Saturday, it was: Heracles Almelo 1, Vitesse Arnhem 2; Roda JC 2, Utrecht 0; SC Heerenveen 4, Willem II 2; and RKC Waalwijk 0, NAC Breda 1.
