Feyenoord Player Ratings vs Go Ahead Eagles

Have a look at the Feyenoord Player Ratings from the Feyenoord vs Go Ahead Eagles Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Steven Benda - 6.5: Had what amounted to a spectator's ticket for most of the game. Go Ahead Eagles barely threatened his goal, especially after going down to 10 men. He did what he had to do with composure. Still, a clean sheet is a clean sheet.

Defenders

Tsuyoshi Watanabe - 7.0: A very solid and composed performance. He was comfortable on the ball, with an 88% pass accuracy, and even got forward for a header that tested the keeper. Defensively, he was untroubled. A good day at the office.

Jordan Bos - 7.5: An absolute menace down the flank. He was constantly involved in attacks, firing off four shots and putting in eight crosses. He looked like one of the most likely players to make something happen. What stood out to us was his relentless energy.

Mats Deijl - 6.0: It was a slightly clumsy performance from him. He committed four fouls and lost the majority of his duels, which was surprising given his team's dominance. He seemed a step off the pace today.

Anel Ahmedhodzic - 7.5: A classy display at the back. His passing was sublime, spraying the ball around with 92% accuracy. He was also solid defensively and contributed to the attack with three key passes. A very well-rounded game.

Midfielders

In-beom Hwang - 8.5: Simply outstanding and our man of the match. He was the creative hub for everything Feyenoord did. With 7 key passes and 8 accurate crosses, he constantly unlocked the opposition's defence. His vision and execution were on another level. A masterful performance.

Jakub Moder - 7.0: A frustrating but ultimately influential game for Moder. He was a constant threat, registering five shots and even hitting the woodwork. However, that big chance missed will sting. He was always in the right places, just lacked the final finish.

Anis Hadj Moussa - 6.5: A mixed bag for the captain. He showed flashes of brilliance with his dribbling but was often wasteful, losing possession 26 times. His crossing was voluminous but lacked consistent quality. He tried to force the issue, but it didn't always come off.

Aymen Sliti - 6.0: He had a decent 63 minutes but failed to impose himself on the game. He was neat and tidy but didn't provide the spark needed to break down the deep defence before being substituted. An okay performance, but nothing more.

Forwards

Ayase Ueda - 6.0: It was a night of pure frustration for the striker. He had a staggering eight shots but couldn't find the net, even striking the post. While his movement got him into great positions, his finishing was uncharacteristically poor. He'll be having nightmares about this game.

Substitutes

Oussama Targhalline - N/A: Played only 18 minutes before an unfortunate injury forced him off. It's impossible to give a fair rating in such a short amount of time.

Manager

R. van Persie - 7.0: His team completely dominated and created enough chances to win three games. The game plan worked in principle, but he couldn't make his players finish. The late penalty was a 'get out of jail free' card, but a win is a win, and he'll take it.

Go Ahead Eagles Player Ratings vs Feyenoord

Have a look at the Go Ahead Eagles Player Ratings from the Feyenoord vs Go Ahead Eagles Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Jari De Busser - 8.5: An absolutely colossal performance. He made seven saves, including some truly spectacular stops, and commanded his area with authority. He was the sole reason his team were in the game for so long. To be beaten by a penalty at the end felt incredibly cruel. He deserved better.

Defenders

Alfons Sampsted - 6.5: He had a torrid time defensively but stuck to his task. He made a remarkable 8 clearances, throwing his body on the line. It was a backs-to-the-wall job, and he did what he could.

Joris Kramer - 8.0: The captain led by example with a heroic defensive display. He was a giant at the back, making 13 clearances and blocking three shots. A true warrior's performance under immense pressure.

Julius Dirksen - 7.0: Like his defensive partners, he was forced into a huge amount of work. He made 10 clearances and stood strong against the relentless wave of Feyenoord attacks. A very disciplined display.

Aske Adelgaard - 7.5: A defensive machine on the flank. He won an incredible six out of seven tackles and was a constant thorn in the side of Feyenoord's attackers. His yellow card was a result of his tireless, aggressive defending. What stood out to us was his commitment.

Midfielders

Jakob Breum - 7.0: Even with his team down to 10 men, he was a bright spark. He worked tirelessly and still managed to create three key passes, showing his quality on the ball. A commendable effort in a losing cause.

Evert Linthorst - 4.5: It was a performance to forget for him. After working so hard defensively, he undid it all by conceding the game-deciding penalty in the 90th minute. A rash moment that cost his team a valuable point.

Mathis Suray - 5.5: He really struggled to make any impact on the game. He was bypassed in midfield and lost most of his duels. It was a difficult situation, and he looked overwhelmed before being substituted.

Jaden Slory - 5.0: Played for an hour but was largely anonymous. The red card meant his role became purely defensive, and he offered very little threat before he was taken off. A thankless task.

Melle Meulensteen - 6.0: He battled hard in the midfield trenches and won a good number of his duels. However, his use of the ball was poor, losing possession 16 times. A tireless but untidy performance.

Forwards

Thibo Baeten - 3.0: The clear villain for his team. His reckless challenge and subsequent red card after just 15 minutes put his team in an impossible position. A moment of madness that completely ruined his team's game plan and earned him the lowest rating.

Manager

M. Boel - 7.5: What can you say? His initial plan went out the window after 15 minutes. The defensive organization and spirit he instilled in his ten men were incredible. They were so close to a historic point, and he can be proud of his team's effort, if not the result.

Man of the Match

In-beom Hwang was adjudged Sportsdunia's man of the match in this Eredivisie game.

Worst Performer

Thibo Baeten was the worst performer in the Feyenoord vs Go Ahead Eagles match.
