Groningen vs Feyenoord Match Report
“Yes we are a nominee for relegation and that is a shame for Feyenoord”, coach Mario Been said on Sunday. His team lost 2-0 at FC Groningen and dropped to the 16th place on the ranking. “But I’m sure we are going to stay in the Eredivisie. I am a fighter. As a football player I was not, but as a trainer I am.”Been tried desperately to talk confidence into his team, but fact of the matter was that Feyenoord did not stand a chance in the Euroborg stadium. Tim Matavz scored in the 13th and in the 84th minute and if the Groningen strikers would have been a bit more accurate in the box the score could have gone way up.
Pieter Huistra, who makes his debut as a head coach in the Eredivisie this season, led Groningen to their best season start in the history of the Dutch top flight. The Northerners have 30 points from their first 15 matches. The team passed Ajax on the ranking to reach the third place.
