The big news before the start was the dropping of Andries Noppert to the bench with Mickey van der Hart coming into the eleven.
Van der Hart had a quiet first half and his side took the lead through Osame Sahraoui in the 19th minute before a fierce strike from Luuk Brouwers made it 2-0. The closest that Fortuna came in the first half was a Justin Lonwijk strike against the crossbar.
The hosts pulled one back through an Alen Halilovic penalty after an hour and it was suddenly 2-2 when Rodrigo Guth headed in from a short corner.
Brouwers got his second of the game to restore Heerenveen’s lead but Halilovic earned Fortuna a point following some poor goalkeeping from Van der Hart.
Before the end, Brouwers was denied a hattrick by the crossbar and the point means Heerenveen are 12th while Fortuna are 9th.
