Cambuur have beaten Go Ahead Eagles 2-1 tonight to move seventh in the Eredivisie table.

Cambuur had the first chance of the game on 22 minutes following a tentative start at De Adelaarshorst, with Lucas Bijker firing narrowly over the bar.

It proved a sign of things to come, however, as Henk de Jong's side moved ahead on 27 minutes, with Martijn Barto converting after Mickey van der Hart saved his initial effort.

Both sides cancelled each other out for large spells, but Eagles defender Bart Vriends came close to restoring parity by directing a header just wide on 65 minutes.

It was a costly miss as the visitors effectively put the game to bed on 72 minutes, with Manchester City loanee Albert Rusnak adding a second from long range.

Deniz Turuc reduced the arrears in the dying stages, but it was rendered a mere consolation by the referee's full-time whistle moments later.
