Cambuur have fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at local rivals Heerenveen in the Eredivisie.

The match started in dramatic fashion as Mark Uth converted from the penalty spot inside the opening minute following a foul by goalkeeper Leonard Nienhuis.

Heerenveen made it 2-0 four minutes into the second half when Cambuur defender Marlon Pereira put the ball into his own net.

However, the visitors reduced the deficit soon after as Bartholomew Ogbeche pounced inside the penalty area after the home side failed to clear their lines from a free kick.

Cambuur then salvaged themselves a share of the spoils with 23 minutes left on the clock thanks to Etienne Reijnen's powerful header from a corner.
