Kaj Sierhuis created the opener in the 21st minute and later scored, as Fortuna Sittard beat PEC Zwolle 3-2. The forward's goal and assist haul swung the contest.

Sierhuis first shaped it with a neat lay-off that invited Lance Duijvestijn to strike from range (21.). The movement dragged defenders out, opening the lane for the finish.

He stayed busy before the break, forcing Tom de Graaff into a save from the centre of the box (36.). The centre forward kept offering between the lines and on the last shoulder.

After the restart, he settled nerves with a driven right-footer from outside the area into the bottom left, arriving from a second phase corner (65.). The technique and timing killed Zwolle's momentum.

Sierhuis finished with four attempts, two on target, and 10 successful final third passes, plus eight touches in the box. The numbers underline how he linked play and repeatedly threatened the back line.

Fortuna Sittard rise from 13th to 11th. They visit Utrecht next. Zwolle host Feyenoord next.
