Nov 5 (Reuters) - Heracles Almelo goalkeeper Martin Pieckenhagen shocked AZ Alkmaar with an injury-time header to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw in the first division on Saturday.
Alkmaar striker Shota Arveladze set up Tarik Sektioui for the opening goal in the 42nd minute before the league's leading scorer made it 2-0 himself with his 12th strike of the season soon after the interval.
Denis Calincov pulled one back for the visitors before the 33-year-old Pieckenhagen headed home the equaliser for Heracles four minutes into injury time.
The result left second-placed Alkmaar with 25 points. They trail leaders PSV, who enjoyed a 3-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam, by three points. Heracles remain 15th in the 18-team league with 12 points.
