Feyenoord defeated AZ on Saturday evening in the absolute final phase. Marcus Pedersen decided the game with a Sunday shot, which means that the team from Rotterdam is on course for the national title, as the Dutch newspapers also see.
The NRC feels that a possible championship is getting closer and closer. It’s only February, but the championship vibe is becoming tangible at Feyenoord. Excited cheers can be heard around the old stadium until after midnight, an atmosphere similar to the one that preceded the last national title in 2017.’ The newspaper highlights one Feyenoord player. ‘Lutsharel Geertruida – boy from South Rotterdam. He is perhaps the personification of this Feyenoord, against all odds, has been the leader since mid-November. Go a long way, through willpower and discipline.’
De Volkskrant saw Pedersen especially stand out. According to the medium, the Norwegian wing defender did not play a great game, but was decisive. ‘Especially the Feyenoord defender who made so many mistakes with his crosses from the right that it became a bit laughable, shot with his left leg on goal in the last minute, after which the deflected ball sailed right into the intersection. Marcus Pedersen thus became the hero of the evening.’
Algemeen Dagblad finally saw Feyenoord win a top match after a series of draws. “It seemed to stay at 1-1. Until Pedersen sought and found happiness. His swipe caused great joy in De Kuip, for three points and after attempts against Ajax, FC Twente and PSV, finally a top match won for Feyenoord.’
