Willem II remain rooted to the foot of the table
Two goals in the last 10 minutes saw De Graafschap pile more misery on rock-bottom Willem II.
The visitors to De Vijverberg took the lead on 78 minutes through Juha Hakola and hoped a much-needed victory was on the cards.
Their lead lasted just two minutes, though, as Rydell Poepon quickly restored parity.
Substitute Hugo Bargas then stole all three points for the hosts when he pounced three minutes from time to wrap up a 2-1 win.
Victory helps to lift De Graafschap clear of relegation trouble and brings to an end their five-match winless run.
Time is fast running out on Willem II's efforts to beat the drop, with a massive 17 points now separating them from guaranteed safety.
