FC Twente downs Ajax 1-0 to stay in first

AMSTERDAM (AP) -- Bryan Ruiz scored two minutes into the second half Sunday to give FC Twente a 1-0 win over Ajax and stay top of the Dutch league.

PSV Eindhoven had temporarily leapfrogged Twente by winning 5-1 over ADO The Hague earlier Sunday, but Ruiz's goal ensured that both clubs maintained their unbeaten start to the season.

Twente has 35 points, two more than PSV. Ajax stayed third with 29, four ahead of Feyenoord.

Ola Toivonen scored four goals in his side's demolition of ADO. The Swedish striker opened the scoring in the 10th minute from a Danko Lazovic pass before doubling PSV's advantage with another effort four minutes later. Lazovic was the provider again for Toivonen's third and Otman Bakkal's goal in the 51st before the Swede netted his fourth in the 73rd as PSV maintained its unbeaten start to the season.

Karim Soltani scored a consolation for ADO in the 71st.

The match was temporarily halted as ADO supporters protested referee Roelof Luinge's decision to dismiss Lex Immers after fouling Lazovic in the 57th. Roelof had already sent off Ricky van den Bergh for a foul on Ibrahim Afellay in the 39th.

Also Sunday, Feyenoord drew 1-1 against defending champion AZ Alkmaar. Sekou Cisse put Feyenoord ahead after five minutes, collecting Leroy Fer's through-ball before firing a low shot past AZ goalkeeper Sergio Romero from 12 yards. Brett Holman got the equalizer for AZ 10 minutes into the second half.

Earlier Sunday, Anthony Lurling set up two goals for Kurt Elshot and Kees Kwakman to inspire NAC Breda to a 4-0 win over Willem II.

Ghana forward Matthew Amoah and Brazil winger Leonardo also added a goal each for NAC.

Michal Papadopulos scored twice and Viktor Elm added another in SC Heerenveen's 3-0 win at FC Utrecht. Tim Cornelisse and Jacob Mulenga scored two late goals for Utrecht.

FC Groningen secured only its third victory of the season by beating visiting Heracles Almelo 4-1 on Friday. On Saturday it was: Vitesse Arnhem 2, VVV-Venlo 0; Sparta Rotterdam 1, Roda JC 2 and NEC Nijmegen 0, RKC Waalwijk 1.
