“Sem Steijn is introduced from the bench, replacing Tobias van den Elshout. The substitution proved a decisive injection of quality, coming just minutes before Feyenoord's breakthrough.”
“Anis Hadj Moussa breaks the deadlock to put Feyenoord ahead. The goal came after sustained Feyenoord pressure following a wave of second-half substitutions, with Jordan Bos having tested the keeper moments earlier before the opener arrived.”
Pivotal“Anis Hadj Moussa doubles Feyenoord's lead to make it 2-0, sealing the result in the closing stages. Feyenoord had continued to press after the opener, with Olivier Aertssen and Casper Tengstedt both going close before Hadj Moussa put the game to bed.”

Outstanding performance
Feyenoord•MidfielderFeyenoord were dominant throughout without ever being at their most electric, outshooting PEC Zwolle 22 to 7 and generating 65 dangerous attacks to the hosts' 30. The match was defined by Feyenoord's sustained territorial pressure — they won 12 corners to Zwolle's two — but the breakthrough proved elusive until the final stretch. Sem Steijn, introduced from the bench in the 72nd minute, added fresh impetus to the visitors' attack, and it was shortly after that Anis Hadj Moussa broke Zwolle's resistance in the 79th minute. The Algerian winger then struck again in the 87th to confirm the points, rewarding a performance built on patience and relentless forward pressure. Zwolle's goalkeeper was kept busy with six saves and the hosts offered precious little in response — their lone shot on target tells its own story. For Feyenoord, the result caps a strong showing and consolidates their position in the Eredivisie table, while Zwolle's afternoon was ultimately a exercise in damage limitation.
