Feyenoord V1 wins after a strong second half against AZ

Feyenoord V1 has also secured a victory in their second match after the winter break. Visiting AZ, Jessica Torna's team claimed a 0-1 win on Saturday afternoon following a strong second-half performance. The only goal of the match was scored by Esmee de Graaf.

Feyenoord did not start the match sharply on Saturday and struggled against AZ in the first half. The first major chance of the game came for the home team. After 30 minutes, a long-range shot smashed against the crossbar. Shortly after, Ella Van Kerkhoven had an opportunity to put her team ahead on the other side, but the Belgian Feyenoord striker's attempt went wide. Halftime score: 0-0.

Second half
After the break, Feyenoord came out much stronger. More chances were created, and eventually, a goal followed. After a scramble in front of AZ's goal, Esmee de Graaf managed to tap in from close range in the 59th minute.

For the remainder of the match, Feyenoord was the better team and had further opportunities to extend their lead. Fifteen minutes before the end, there was a notable debut. Mao Itamura, the Japanese forward who signed a contract at De Kuip last week, came on for De Graaf. Despite some dangerous moves, she could not mark her debut with a goal.
