FC Groningen had to settle for a point from their Eredivisie clash with mid-table rivals NAC Breda, drawing 1-1.
The match briefly tilted Groningen's way when they seized a 48th-minute lead thanks to Maikel Kieftenbeld, who crashed a fierce shot into the top left corner from 25 yards after a corner was only half cleared.
However NAC were back on level terms two minutes later after they were awarded a penalty for a shove in the box, and Jordy Buijs converted from the spot.
It finished 1-1, with Groningen staying ninth in the table and NAC remaining 12th.
