Eerste Divisie outfit at De Adelaarshorst on Thursday, October 27.
Koeman admitted that surprises are always there in the game of football but it hurts when you are the victim.
“Surprises are always there. Except that, we are the victims. That’s very painful. Motivation must come within yourself, not from the opposition. It is my biggest disappointment thus far at Feyenoord”, Koeman said while talking to the journalists.
GAE dominated proceedings right from the kick-off and stunned the Rotterdam giants with their impressive movement upfront. In the seventh minute, Joey Suk’s low shot found the bottom right corner of the net to break the deadlock, sending the home crowd in
to raptures.
After the opening goal, the hosts pulled things back a little and much of the action was restricted to the centre of the pitch. At the half-time interval, the score-line surprisingly read 1-0 in favour of the home side.
The second-half started in the same fashion with GAE controlling the proceedings. In the 57th
minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marnix-Kolder-c24292 in the box and the referee was left with no choice but to award a penalty. Kolder stepped up to take the spot-kick and made no mistake in hitting the back of the net.

Feyenoord will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 at Euroborg Stadion on Sunday, October 30, and Koeman will be hoping that his troops return to form in the upcoming league encounter.
The Rotterdam giants have thus far performed impressively in Eredivisie. Occupying the fourth spot on the table, they trail the league leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar by eight points.
