Thomas Van Den Belt decided it in the 30th minute with a glancing header from a corner, as FC Twente won 2-0 at Heracles.
Driving into the six-yard area, he met Daan Rots' delivery at the near post (30.), guiding the ball beyond the goalkeeper and punishing loose set-piece marking.
After the restart, a penalty doubled the cushion (55.). With Twente reduced to 10 men soon after (58.), Van Den Belt tucked in to help screen the defence, showing composure in possession to slow the game when needed.
He finished with two tackles, two clearances and five recoveries, plus 20 successful passes from 26, underlining how his timing in both boxes shaped the contest.
Twente rise from seventh to sixth and host Excelsior next. Heracles remain 18th and visit Feyenoord next.
