Willem II equalised in the 33rd minute with Mike Trésor Ndayishimiye setting up Vangelis PavlidiS to score his fifth goal of the season.
Heracles restored their lead three minutes before the break when Dessers converted a Mauro Junior free kick from close range. Ten minutes after the break, Silvester van der Water made it 3-1 from Alexander Merkel’s cut-back.
Mauro Junior then sealed the victory in the 63rd minute with a close range finish.
The victory moves Heracles to tenth and two places below Willem II.
