sport">The match started with a hefty setback for Feyenoord. Already in the fourth minute Marcos Senesi had to drop out injured with an injury to his thigh, which he sustained when no opponent was near him and he played the ball back to Justin Bijlow. He was replaced by Wout Burger.
Dreigend Go Ahead
sport">Partly because of that delay, it took until the end of the first fifteen minutes before goalkeeper Warner Hahn was tested for the first time. He got a shot from Alireza Jahanbakhsh in the short corner. But the much-praised Feyenoord game of the past few weeks was barely visible before the break. The first big chance was for the visitors, but after a mistake by Burger, the ball was always difficult for the Go Ahead Eagles attackers. The same Burger headed in from a corner moments later, but Hahn turned well.

sport">For a long time, the greatest opportunities always came in the few moments when Go Ahead showed up in the enemy penalty area. Luuk Brouwers set up the attack himself with a nice feint, but his completion was just not convincing enough. Feyenoord’s most threatening-looking attempts came in the final minutes. First Orkun Kökçü curled a free kick into the side net, then attempts by Guus Til and Luis Sinisterra were blocked. The chance for Til in particular was great, but he couldn’t get the ball in.
Strong resume Feyenoord
sport">Feyenoord happily continued where it left off after tea. Til hit the ball hard towards the goal after a cross from Marcus Pedersen, but Hahn’s save was excellent. The keeper was busy in the opening phase of the second half and was also able to see the ball just wide or over several times during attempts by Gernot Trauner and Guus Til. Yet, just like before the break, there were moments when Go Ahead showed itself and Bijlow once had to stretch to the corner with a bet by Martijn Berden.

sport">A few minutes later, it hit the other side. Hahn, who had been excellent up to that point, released with a shot from Sinisterra and Linssen was attentive enough to tap in. Feyenoord’s storm then abated slightly, although the best chances remained for Arne Slot’s team. So Pedersen was able to steam all the way up, but he shot straight at Hahn.
sport">The game came to a close a few minutes before time. Linssen was not tackled by the Go Ahead defenders and shot the ball against the ropes wonderfully. The attacker was not far from a hat-trick, but his header in the final minute hit the post.
Feyenoord player Senesi: injury not serious
sport">5:33 pm: Feyenoord coach Arne Slot is not very concerned about Marcos Senesi’s injury. The defender dropped out on Sunday in the 8th minute of the won home game against Go Ahead Eagles (2-0).
sport">“Senesi just told himself that it was not that bad,” said Slot just after the final whistle. “That it wasn’t serious, but players always say that after a game. We’ll see how it goes on Monday. It’s not a good sign of course.”
sport">Feyenoord defends a 5-0 lead in the play-offs of the preliminary rounds of the Conference League in the away game against the Swedish IF Elfsborg on Thursday. Goalkeeper Justin Bijlow misses that game due to a suspension.
Linssen after missed hat-trick chance: you can’t have everything
sport">Linssen added after the home game against Go Ahead Eagles (2-0) ESPN frankly that Feyenoord had not played big in De Kuip. “No, it was absolutely not sparkling,” agreed the maker of both goals in the last half hour. “We had quite a bit of trouble. We didn’t really get the energy into our game. That was a bit lost with us.”
sport">Linssen still thought that Feyenoord had forced many opportunities. “But Warner Hahn was a very good goalkeeper, apart from that 1-0”, he referred to the half rescue of the former Feyenoord player after which he scored from the rebound. “I’d rather score a second goal like that,” said Linssen, beaming. He made a nice effort in the 87th minute. „With the left still, well, it was a matter of closing your eyes and going. I can shoot reasonably well with the left, but it was nice that the ball flew in like that.”
sport">Linssen also hit the post after his second goal. “Yes, a shame, so it could have been a hat trick, but you can’t have everything. In any case, I think that the call at Feyenoord for a new number 9 will stop for a while. With every chance I miss, stories about a new striker come up, but after today that will be a little less.”
