De Graafschap Women beat Heerenveen 1-0 in the Eredivisie Regular Season on 23 August 2026. The result lifted the hosts to sixth place with three points from two games. Heerenveen remain bottom of the opening round with zero points and two defeats.
The home side had lost their opening fixture 1-2 at Twente Women, so this win paid for a sloppy opening. To be fair, they did not need much to take all three points. Heerenveen, meanwhile, have not managed a point since their first matchday.
What matters here is the gap already forming. The hosts sit three points clear of the visitors after just two rounds. By then, you can see the pattern setting early — one mistake ends it for Heerenveen.
De Graafschap's previous defeat came against Twente, while Heerenveen's last outing was a 1-2 loss to Feyenoord Women. Before that, they had scattered results against Ajax, Utrecht, AZ and PSV, but the current form tells another story.
And here's the thing: this is only round two. The table still has room to shift, but a team that cannot keep a clean sheet in the opening matches will need to find answers quickly.
