Feyenoord easily wins 2-0 against NAC Breda thanks to goals from Ayase Ueda and Quinten Timber.
Ivanusec plays a terrible match, but he tries with a bicycle kick. Bielica is unfortunately not surprised.
74′ Penalty converted by Timber
Timber keeps his head cool and doesn’t miss from 11 meters. Feyenoord on 2-0.
A penalty for Feyenoord for handball in the penalty area. It was not good to see, but this is nice that the referee saw it well.
61′ Milambo yellow, two substitutions at Feyenoord
Antoni Milambo makes a sliding tackle and accidentally hits Kemper. The referee is unforgiving and shows the young Feyenoord midfielder a yellow card. Priske makes an immediate substitution. Paixão and Lotomba are sent off. Ivanusec and Read are allowed to show their skills again.
57′ Double substitution at NAC
Janosek and Garbett go out, Sana Fernandes and Kostorz come in.
49′ Paixão with a great chance
Now it’s Igor Paixão’s turn to take aim at NAC’s goal after a good move by Timber. The keeper barely saves.
Four minutes into the second half, Ueda makes a fantastic turn. The Japanese player fires the ball wide.
46′ Match resumes
Feyenoord kicks off the second half. Osman’s debut is over. He is replaced by Hadj Moussa
The referee blows his whistle for half-time. Feyenoord is rightly leading 1-0.
There will be no less than six minutes of added injury time after two long injury treatments.
42′ Hwang almost extends lead
After a quick counter via Osman, who holds the ball well, the ball ends up with Hwang. He shoots well towards the far corner. The ball goes just wide.
Brian Priske is furious with the referees after an alleged handball moment. He is a bit too fierce and gets a yellow card
There it is at last! Ayase Ueda heads the ball in, 1-0. After a wonderful attack via the left, Smal is free and crosses the ball. Ueda heads it towards the goal and leaves the NAC keeper without a chance
28′ Gimenez carried off on a stretcher
Gimenez gets injured after putting pressure on the last line of NAC Breda. He can no longer continue and is taken off the field on a stretcher. Ueda replaces the Mexican.
25′ Free kick for Feyenoord in a dangerous position
A free kick in the ideal spot for Feyenoord. Paixão and Hancko are behind the ball. The Brazilian takes the ball and shoots well over. Paixão is not yet comfortable in the match
21′ Yellow card Ibrahim Osman
The yellow card is shown to the starting debutant Osman.
Where the first minutes were for NAC Breda, Feyenoord logically took over the initiative. The Rotterdammers can smell the opening goal after a number of well-executed chances.
Beelen intervenes and Hwang picks up the ball. He immediately sends Osman away into the deep. Osman then lays the ball off in the penalty area and offers Milambo a huge chance. His shot is unfortunately blocked.
It is NAC Breda that starts fiercely and mainly has the ball in the initial phase. Feyenoord has started sloppy and restless.
1′ The ball rolls into De Kuip
The competition is about to begin!
The players enter the field in a packed Kuip. Today should be the day of the turnaround for Feyenoord. The match is dedicated to the Sophia Children’s Hospital, so the patients are put in the spotlight.
Priske discusses the pressure on him and Zerrouki
Coach Brian Priske answered questions in advance on ESPN about the pressure that is now on his team and how he deals with it. “I don’t read the opinions. Only those of the people who matter to me. I’m not blind. I know that there is negativity when you don’t win. That’s how it should be. There is no patience at a top club. I know that, I have to deal with that. That’s why I’m not interested in those opinions. That’s why I’m only concerned with the next game.”
Priske also addressed the Zerrouki situation: “He has good qualities and has also played good matches. Now we are in a different phase than last season. Then everything was clear. Now it is more searching. He has also played good matches for Algeria. He will get through it, that we are passing him over now.”
Another half hour until the start of the Feyenoord-NAC Breda match. De Kuip is slowly filling up and our commentators are already in their seats.
The arrangement of the guests is also known
And there is also the line-up of NAC Breda. Leo Sauer returns with a starting place in De Kuip.
Osman’s debut, Zerrouki on the bench
Feyenoord’s line-up is in. Coach Brian Priske grants Osman a starting spot and Zerrouki is sacrificed. He is allowed to take a seat on the bench. Trauner is also not there.
The men have arrived
The players slowly trickle in at De Kuip.
