Roda JC hold Heerenveen to 0-0 draw
Heerenveen and Roda JC played out a goalless draw in the first game of the new Eredivisie season.
Having finished fifth last term, Trond Sollied's Heerenveen were looking to make a winning start in their bid to challenge the top clubs.
However, Roda kept Heerenveen at bay to emerge with a creditable point that suggests they could enjoy a more comfortable campaign than last term.
Roda only stayed up after a penalty shoot-out victory over Cambuur Leeuwarden in a promotion/relegation play-off.
The rest of the teams in the Eredivisie play their first games of the season this weekend, with defending champions AZ Alkmaar facing Heracles Almelo.
