Feyenoord Rotterdam beat PSV Eindhoven, 3-1: Dutch Eredivisie News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven’s Eredivisie title hopes took a huge blow after Feyenoord Rotterdam defeated them 3-1 at the Feijenoord Stadion on Sunday, April 24. The Boeren put in a disappointing performance on the field and the home-side took full advantage to bag all three points in this crucial encounter.
Fred Rutten, the Boeren manager, was utterly disappointed with his men efforts on the field. Rutten believes that his side’s chances to lift the Eredivisie title have received a devastating blow.
Rutten said, “http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 were the better side in the first half, while we put in a disappointing display. We could not create any clear-cut chances and Feyenoord deservedly had a 1-0 lead at half-time. We fought ourselves back in the game but the red card in the 53rd minute was the key moment of the match.”
“I think it was a ridiculous decision to send Engelaar off. It cost us dearly: it may very well have cost us the league title. Our title chances suffered a devastating blow on Sunday. This defeat hurts. We failed at the crucial moments and that includes me”, he concluded.
Rutten’s men started the match on a positive note. However, the Rotterdam outfit took the lead after 27 minutes of play through Georgino Wijnaldum, who made no mistake in heading Diego Biseswar’s brilliant cross in the box.
PSV replied strongly and put constant pressure on the home-side’s back-line. However, they were denied to find an equaliser by the home-side’s goal-keeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luc-Castaignos-c22500 that earned the prolific mid-fielder straight red card. However, Rutten was unhappy with the referee’s decision to reduce his side to ten-man.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 gave his side some hope after 60 minutes, when his powerful curling strike found the back of the net to read the score-line 1-1. However, the home side restored their lead in the 63rd minute of the match through Wijnaldum and Castaignos made it 3-1 in the 79th minute to take the game away from the Boeren.
Rutten was clearly disappointed with the results, as his troops were en route to lift the Eredivisie title. However, the defeat at the Feijenoord Stadion has dropped them to third place in the league table.
The Boeren now trail the league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam. With six points left to grab in the season, Rutten will be hoping that his side secures maximum points in the remaining two fixtures of the season and keep their hopes alive to become Dutch champions.
