Dutch leaders PSV held by Vitesse Arnhem

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands-- Dutch leaders PSV Eindhoven were held to a 0-0 draw at Vitesse Arnhem on Sunday as Twente Enschede joined them at the top after a 2-0 home win over Roda JC Kerkrade.

PSV stay top on goal difference from Twente. Both have 52 points after 20 matches. Third-placed Ajax have 43 points after a 1-1 draw away at fierce rivals Feyenoord who are fourth on 39 points.

Kenneth Perez broke the deadlock for Twente in the 71st minute and Costa Rican Bryan Ruiz sealed victory a minute later with his 14th of the season.

Ajax went ahead against Feyenoord through Marko Pantelic after 25 minutes after good work from Demy de Zeeuw and Dennis Rommedahl.

Georginio Wijnaldum earned a deserved point for the home side midway through the second half after a defensive blunder from Urby Emanuelson.

Schaub shines as AFC win Pro Bowl

page52bMIAMI-- Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans threw two touchdown passes and was named MVP after leading the AFC to a 41-34 victory over the NFC in the annual Pro Bowl game on Sunday.

More than 70,000 turned out at Dolphin Stadium but many drifted away during the second half of what was a light-contact, high-scoring friendly encounter between the league's two conferences featuring 987 total net yards gained.

The game, usually played in Hawaii the week after the Super Bowl, was switched to South Florida, the week before the NFL's biggest event.

The score was level 14-14 at the break, with Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing two touchdowns for the NFC.

Diluted by the absence of many big-name players, the game nonetheles came alive in the third quarter when the NFC grabbed the lead.

Donovan McNabb, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, passed to his team mate, wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who weaved past opponents to run home a 58-yard touchdown.

That prompted two touchdowns and a field goal from the AFC but their victory was not secured until the fourth quarter when Tennessee's Chris Johnson ran home from two yards.

Next Sunday, the NFC's New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts of the AFC in the Super Bowl.
