The Feyenoord vs. VfL Wolfsburg friendly match was prematurely halted on Saturday due to a medical emergency in the stands. The supporter has been taken to the hospital for medical treatment. Feyenoord left a good impression before the stoppage.
With a 4-0 lead on the board, it seemed like it was going to be a carefree day for Feyenoord, until it fell silent in De Kuip in the final phase. The scare was significant due to a medical emergency in the stands.
Feyenoord reports that the supporter in question is responsive and has been taken to the hospital for further treatment. The game was immediately stopped and not resumed after consultation between both parties.
For Feyenoord, the match against Wolfsburg was the last test in the run-up to the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The Rotterdam club will host Fenerbahçe on Wednesday in De Kuip. The return leg is a week later in Istanbul.
Ueda sets Feyenoord on the right track
Feyenoord can look forward to the double-header with ‘Fener’ with confidence. After a series of disappointing results in the preparation, Robin van Persie’s team made an impression against Wolfsburg, the club of former Go Ahead Eagles coach Paul Simonis.
Ayase Ueda set Feyenoord on the right track. The Japanese player made it 1-0 and 2-0 on a day when his former competitor Santiago Giménez was bidden farewell in De Kuip. The Mexican, who left for AC Milan in the winter, said goodbye during the break.
In the second half, Van Persie made numerous substitutions. Substitute Luciano Valente scored in the 65th minute after preparatory work by Gonçalo Borges. Shortly afterwards, Gaoussou Diarra also scored his first goal in the Feyenoord shirt.
Feyenoord also misses Smal against Fenerbahçe
Prior to the match against VfL Wolfsburg, Robin van Persie announced that Gijs Smal will not be able to participate against Fenerbahçe. Like Gernot Trauner, he is not fit. Against Wolfsburg, acquisition Jordan Bos was Smal’s replacement.
