Sebastian Veller's 80th-minute strike earned a point for FC Utrecht in tonight's Eredivise game away at Heracles.

The home side dominated the early exchanges and went close to scoring through Bryan Linssen and Illass Bel Hassani, before centre-back Jeroen Veldmate missed a golden chance as he shot wide from six yards following a corner.

The visitors struggled to create a meaningful chance until the 55th minute when Christian Kum blasted wide of the goal when he was in acres of space in the six-yard box.

Heracles took the lead with just 14 minutes to go as Denni Avdic headed in Simon Cziommer's cross at the far post.

However, their lead was short lived as Haller levelled four minutes later, before Heracles went down to 10 men as Veldmate was sent off.

FC Utrecht could not capitalise, and the game fizzled out to a 1-1 draw.
