Breda hold Willem in opener

Two goals inside the last 11 minutes lit up the opening game of the Eredivisie season, with Willem II and NAC Breda sharing the points. Willem II substitute Jens Podevijn gave his team the advantage when he broke the deadlock in the 79th minute with a 12-yard shot which found the corner. However, NAC Breda levelled this Brabant derby three minutes from time thanks to Anthony Lurling's curling effort. The Eredivisie season continues over the weekend, with reigning champions Ajax kicking off their defence of the title against AZ Alkmaar on Sunday.
