With games running out for Dordrecht they knew a win was crucial against Heracles if they were to kick-start a run to survival, but after only seven minutes Bryan Linssen sent a volley into the bottom corner to put the away side ahead.
Dordrecht showed good fight, and on 17 minutes Everon Pisas raced onto Jeffrey Fortes pass before finishing calmly to level the scores. Dordrecht were ahead five minutes later as Pisas turned provider when his cross across the box was fired into the bottom corner by Joris van Overeem.
