Amsterdam, Netherlands (My Sportsbook) - Danijel Pranjic scored in the 59th minute and Heerenveen edged Ajax, 1-0, at Amsterdam ArenA on Saturday in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Heerenveen swept the season series from Ajax, extended its win streak to four games and pulled within three points of second place. Heerenveen's win was also just its third in Amsterdam in 17 tries.

Ajax, which had its five-game winning streak snapped last weekend, dropped its second straight and remained six points behind idle AZ.
