1 – 3
“Gjivai Zechiël gives Feyenoord the lead with a right-footed finish from the center of the box after NEC's Targhalline was booked for a foul in the build-up.”
Pivotal“NEC respond immediately through Darko Nejasmic, who curls in a left-footed effort from outside the box to level the score at 1-1.”
“Fresh off a saved effort from Schaken moments earlier, Feyenoord break at speed and Luciano Valente restores the lead with a composed finish from the center of the box.”
Pivotal“Just three minutes after Valente's goal, substitute Jerayno Schaken doubles his side's advantage with a left-footed finish from the right side of the box to make it 3-1.”

Outstanding performance
Feyenoord•MidfielderNEC dominated the ball with 63% possession and out-passed Feyenoord by nearly 200 passes, but it was Feyenoord's clinical edge that decided the game. Feyenoord needed just 11 shots to score three goals, converting 6 shots on target into three finishes, while NEC's dominance produced only one big chance created all match. The pivotal spell came between the 52nd and 64th minutes, when the sides traded four goals - Zechiël's opener, Nejasmic's quick equalizer, then two Feyenoord strikes in the space of three minutes from Valente and substitute Schaken turned a tight contest into a comfortable away win. For a mid-table Feyenoord side sitting 11th with modest recent form, this result offers a much-needed morale boost, while NEC's inability to convert their territorial control into victory will sting given how much of the game they controlled statistically.

NEC Nijmegen ride a two-game winning streak into a tricky test against third-placed Feyenoord, who are unbeaten in four but have questions to answer up front after losing Ayase Ueda to unavailability. With NEC's defense stretched thin, this Eredivisie clash has all the makings of a goal-fest at the Goffertstadion.
