Feyenoord earned an important victory in the Eurojackpot Vrouwen Eredivisie. Visiting FC Utrecht on Tuesday evening, Jessica Torny’s side won 1–2, keeping their place among the league’s frontrunners.
On a rainy evening at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch, Feyenoord started the match strongly. It took until midway through the first half for their dominance to pay off. Kokona Iwasaki was sent through by a deep pass from Justine Brandau and finished smartly at the near post: 0–1.
After the break, both teams created chances, but Torny’s side remained in control. In the 75th minute, substitute Dechamaily Lont seemed to seal the victory by making it 0–2.
In stoppage time, things got tense when the referee spotted a push inside Feyenoord’s penalty area and awarded a spot kick. The penalty was converted, but that was the end of it. Final score: 1–2.
With this win, Feyenoord move into joint third place in the Eurojackpot Vrouwen Eredivisie, with 9 points from 4 matches.
