Outstanding performance
NEC Nijmegen•MidfielderNEC Nijmegen dominated possession and territory but had to settle for a dramatic late point against Feyenoord in a 1-1 draw. The visitors took an early lead through Ayase Ueda's clinical header from a corner after 18 minutes, but NEC controlled the tempo throughout with 59% possession and 60 dangerous attacks to Feyenoord's 35. Despite creating four big chances, NEC's wasteful finishing looked set to cost them until substitute Danilo rescued a point with a 90th-minute equalizer. The result continues both teams' inconsistent form, with Feyenoord's lower pass accuracy (66%) highlighting their struggles to maintain control against NEC's patient build-up play.
