Arnaud Sutchuin (2), Jagos Vukovic, Davy De Beule, Ruud Vormer, Mitchell Donald and Mikolaj Lebedynski got the goals as Roda improved their poor goal difference in style at Kerkrade's Parkstad Limburg Stadion. It was one-way traffic for most of the contest, with the hosts taking control after taking a fifth-minute lead though Vukovic and never letting it go. John Goossens notched twice to earn 10-man NEC Nijmegen an important three points with a 2-0 win over fellow strugglers VVV-Venlo. The midfielder set NEC on their way with a 25th-minute free-kick at De Goffert against their second-bottom visitors. The 53rd-minute dismissal of defender Bram Nuytinck for a professional foul gave VVV hope of getting back into the game, but they could not capitalise and Goossens' second goal - another free-kick - 12 minutes from time sealed a home win. Skipper Guram Kashia headed a late winner to hand Vitesse Arnhem an away success in their clash with Heracles Almelo. Kashia proved the match-winner when he nodded in Jan-Arie Van der Heijden's 86th-minute corner but it was Vitesse's defence, which kept a fourth successive clean sheet, that paved the way to victory. Groningen were 1-0 winners over Utrecht in Saturday night's remaining match, with David Teixeira on target after an hour.
