Feyenoord Suffers Costly Defeat Against Go Ahead Eagles

On Sunday evening, Feyenoord suffered a significant loss against Go Ahead Eagles, going down 2-1 in Deventer. The match was notably marked by a penalty awarded to Go Ahead, which proved to be a turning point in the game.

Coach Robin van Persie expressed his frustration regarding the officiating, arguing that Feyenoord should have also been granted a penalty for a foul against his player. Former referee Mario van der Ende echoed these sentiments, stating that referee Joey Kooij made a considerable error in judgment.

Feyenoord forward Ayase Ueda was held within the penalty area, yet Kooij chose not to award the penalty. This decision was deemed incomprehensible by van der Ende, who shared his thoughts on social media platform X, stating, “What questions arise about a possible penalty for Feyenoord after Ueda was held (shirt tugging)? In my opinion, it was a penalty. How much clearer can it be?”
