Cyriel Dessers got all eyes on him again on Thursday evening. The Feyenoord striker came in the Conference League match with Slavia Prague (2-2) as a substitute and gave his team a point with two hits. The day after his hits in Belgium, they also pay extensive attention to the striker of the Rotterdam team. Due to the division of points in the Czech capital, Feyenoord is assured of the group win.

Due to an injury to Bryan Linssen, Dessers was brought in against Slavia after eighteen minutes. Barely fifteen minutes later it was already hit, when he nicely turned away from his man and shot with the left in the short corner. The second goal followed deep into stoppage time. On a pass from Lutsharel Geertruida, he left goalkeeper Ales Mandous without a chance with a header that was watched. “Technical masterpiece and wonderful header: Cyriel Dessers again the hero with great goals”, headlines sporza. “Is this the ultimate application for a basic place? Dessers was once again vital for Feyenoord against Slavia Prague.”

“A minute later than expected”, The last news on the equalizer of Dessers. In the Eredivisie, the striker saved his team against Sparta Rotterdam and AZ twice in the 92nd minute. He did that against Slavia in minute 93. “Will KRC Genk already regret that they have rented out Cyriel Dessers?” The Belgian newspaper describes the first goal as a ‘beauty’: “With a clever movement he turned freely around his axis and hit the target dry. ‘Phenomenon’ Dessers rewarded the willpower in the final phase.”

Dessers himself remained quite sober and afterwards appeared in his underpants in front of the cameras of ESPN, after he had awarded his shorts to the accompanying Feyenoord supporters. “I had to go in fairly cold. Just when I was ready to come in, the 1-0 fell. ‘Typical’, you think. ‘Do I have to come in at such a moment, against a good team.’ But after 97 minutes, a happy man is here. I’ve experienced this a few times in recent weeks, but I never get used to it,” Dessers beamed to the Dutch press. “Seeing that ball fall over the keeper was so beautiful… Just like the first one, actually.”
