Bryan Ruiz scored in injury time Sunday to give FC Twente a 2-1 win over Feyenoord, ensuring the defending champions stay within a point of leader PSV Eindhoven.

Ruiz, returning from a long-term injury layoff, headed in Theo Janssen's pass after Wout Brama had equalized for Twente in the 76th minute.

Gill Swerts gave Feyenoord the lead in the 51st, but the team's 11th loss of the season leaves it 15th in the 18-team league.

Inspired by Siem de Jong's early goal, Ajax downed NAC Breda 3-0. Rob Pender scored a own goal, doubling Ajax's lead, before Miralem Sulejmani added a third in injury time.
