Outstanding performance
Feyenoord•AttackerFeyenoord tore into Utrecht from the first whistle, going 2-0 up inside nine minutes through Anis Hadj Moussa and Nacho Ferri before Hadj Moussa's second on 33 minutes put the game to bed before halftime. The hosts controlled 56% of possession but the gulf was starker in the final numbers - 21 shots to 7, 12 on target to just 2, and a staggering 48 dangerous attacks against Utrecht's 21. Luciano Valente's penalty and a late Gaoussou Diarra finish on the break turned a comfortable win into a rout, with Utrecht managing just two big chances all game despite their goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas making 7 saves to avoid an even heavier defeat. For Feyenoord, this is emphatic evidence of title-race momentum, while Utrecht's discipline problems - 21 fouls and three yellow cards in a chaotic second half - suggest a side that lost their composure as the scoreline spiralled.
