Feyenoord won its closed practice match against FC Eindhoven on Wednesday afternoon. The Rotterdam team, who had thirteen players from the A-selection at their disposal due to international obligations, surprisingly fell behind at Varkenoord, but turned it around via two hits from Ezequiel Bullaude and a goal from Danilo: 3-1.
FC Eindhoven is having a surprisingly good season in the Kitchen Champion Division, in which Rob Penders’ team currently occupies second place. The North Brabant formation also showed a strong appearance at the Feyenoord training complex. Already in the second minute Evan Rottier was able to tap in a cross from the right: 0-1. Feyenoord’s occasional team was clearly not attuned to each other and lost the ball in the opening phase.
With the introduction of Noah Naujoks, who came in for Javairô Dilrosun at halftime, things started to go better for Arne Slot’s team. Eindhoven had to allow more and more opportunities and saw how Bullaude scored his first (unofficial) goal on behalf of Feyenoord in the 48th minute via a header. A good free kick by Danilo put the team from Rotterdam in the lead nine minutes later: 2-1. Less than 120 seconds later, the game was decided by Bullaude, who was able to shoot it in after a handy cross from Naujoks: 3-1.
Line-up Feyenoord: Wellenreuther; Benita, Falcon, Rasmussen, Hartman; Wieffer, Taabouni, Bullaude; Dilrosun (46′ Naujoks), Danilo (76′ Green), Paixão (76′ Hokke)
