FC Twente went the top of the Dutch league on Sunday after Kenneth Perez scored the winner in a 1-0 victory over RKC Waalwijk.

Perez headed home Bryan Ruiz's curling cross in the 69th minute as Twente took full advantage of PSV's 2-1 defeat at NAC Breda on Saturday.

Twente leads the standings with 67 points, two more than PSV. Ajax, which faces PSV in the next round of matches, is third with 61 after beating Sparta Rotterdam 3-0 earlier Sunday.

"The next goal is to win the next game," said Twente coach Steven McClaren. "We still have eight games to go. Who knows what will happen? There will be so many twists and turns."

Ajax's goals came from Siem de Jong, Gregory van der Wiel and Dennis Rommedahl.

Also Sunday, it was FC Groningen 1, VVV-Venlo 0 and FC Utrecht 1, NEC Nijemegen 0.

Sekou Cisse scored twice and created another as Feyenoord topped Roda JC 4-2.

Cisse opened scoring in the 14th from a rebound before adding another goal in the 60th. He then set up Luigi Bruins for the third in the 71st. Substitute Roy Makaay added a fourth in the 82nd.

Jeanvion Yulu Matondo and Boldizsar Bodor scored for Roda, which had Ruud Vormer sent off for a 20th-minute foul on Leroy Fer. Feyenoord goalkeeper Darley was also ejected in the 84th.

Defending champion AZ Alkmaar continued its fine run since Dick Advocaat replaced Ronald Koeman as coach by earning a 4-1 comeback win against SC Heerenveen Saturday.

Also Saturday, ADO The Hague had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Vitesse Arnhem while Heracles Almelo beat Willem II 3-2.
