Soccer-Vitesse book Europa spot, Roda and De Graafschap promoted

AMSTERDAM, May 31 (Reuters) - Vitesse Arnhem recovered to beat visitors Heerenveen 5-2 with four second-half goals as they claimed a Europa League place on Sunday with a 7-4 aggregate win in the post-season playoffs.

Vitesse were 2-1 down at halftime but equalised with a Marko Vejinovic penalty before Davy Proper, Zakaria Labyad and Jan-Arie van der Heijden secured victory in the final 15 minutes.

Heerenveen, held 2-2 at home in Thursday's first leg, had opened the scoring after three minutes and were 2-1 up at the break after Mark Uth got his second of the game.
