Feyenoord loses unbeaten streak in Heerenveen

fter a streak of four games without a win, the head coach expected his team to bounce back with a victory. However, that didn’t happen in Friesland, where the loss was evident from the very start. The home team was better in every aspect, more aggressive, and more energetic, and above all, showed an enormous will to win - something Feyenoord lacked.

Nevertheless, after half an hour, Rotterdam led 0-2 - which, given the flow of the game, was nothing short of a miracle. The individual brilliance of Anis Hadj Moussa and a controversial penalty put Feyenoord in a comfortable position, but it immediately became clear that there was no question of sitting back and relaxing.

Things went wrong right at the end of the first half and immediately after halftime, and by the one-hour mark, Feyenoord had even fallen behind—a result that was fully deserved given the flow of the game. Shortly afterward, out of nowhere, they equalized thanks to substitute Sem Steijn, and for a brief moment it seemed a point - or even more - was within reach, but in the closing stages, the league leaders collapsed.

So Feyenoord heads into the international break with a major hangover and, most likely, without the top spot. After that, the league resumes with a home game against Excelsior on Saturday, November 21, at 6:45 p.m.
