Decisive figure in goal steers Heerenveen past Telstar | OneFootball

Bernt Klaverboer set the tone in the third minute with a reflex save, and Heerenveen beat Telstar 3-0. The goalkeeper's six saves across both halves shaped the game.

He announced himself early by smothering Nökkvi Þórisson's drive from the left, holding firm in the centre to keep the scores level and settle the hosts.

After the restart, he tipped away Patrick Brouwer's strike from the left channel (48.). He then blocked Kay Tejan through the middle after a through ball (66.).

He got down sharply from close range again (75.). Moments later, he parried Rojendro Oudsten from the centre (88.). He then held Jelani Seedorf's shot in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.

He finished with six saves, all from attempts inside the box, and a clean sheet. Against 20 Telstar attempts and 22 crosses, his positioning and handling repeatedly snuffed out danger.

Heerenveen rise from eighth to sixth in the Eredivisie. They visit NEC Nijmegen next, while Telstar host PSV.
