Feyenoord have no problems with ADO Den Haag

Sunday 23 November 2008

Feyenoord Rotterdam had no trouble whatsoever with ADO Den Haag on Sunday.

After the visitors went ahead in the tenth minute the Rotterdammers turned things around before the break with a 2-1 lead and added a third in the second half: 3-1.

Roy Makaay proved to be a winter-proof striker as he took Feyenoord by the end in a cold and windy De Kuip.

The 33-year old scored Feyenoord's first goal and prepared the other two.

This happened after Richard Knopper scored in the tenth minute when Feyenoord keeper Henk Timmer made yet another mistake as he let a ball bounce off his chest straight into Knopper's feet.

Makaay then equalized six minutes later and laid one on for Leroy Fer to make it 2-1 minutes before the half-time whistle.

Luigi Bruins added a third for the home team ten minutes into the second half after which the weather conditions made it almost impossible to play a decent game of football.

The victory for Feyenoord means they have now gained ten points from their last four games and that they are getting a UEFA Cup spot in their sites.

For Den Haag the defeat was the sixth in a row and after a good start the team of coach André Wetzel are slowly sinking into the relegation zone.
