Feyenoord earn last gasp draw to Willem II
By: Jackson | January 25th, 2009
Leon Vlemmings earned his first point as Feyenoord manager but it did not come easy as they needed Andwélé Slory’s added-time goal to secure a 1-1 draw against Willem II. While the result will do little to stem the tide for a high profile manager, the match was not without controversy as the faithful at De Kuip will rightfully make claim referee Roelof Luinge made a mess of the match with a series of errors.
Feyenoord came out with creative intent with Giovanni van Bronckhorst providing Roy Makaay, Luigi Bruins, Theo Lucius and Diego Biseswar ample opportunity to finding the score-sheet but finishing fell short each time. Feyenoord should have had the lead at the break when André Bahia’s header off a corner had crossed the line, before being put back into play but inexplicably the referee waived play on. Six minutes after the re-start Willem II took the lead with a rare assaulting effort as Jens Janse headed the ball in off a set piece and De Kuip was getting very restless as it looked to be heading towards another defeat. With fourteen minutes remaining Leon Vlemmings called upon Andwélé Slory for Karim El Ahmadi and it would prove to be the satisfying piece to the puzzle as four minutes into injury time Diego Biseswar played the ball into Slory, who finished perfectly to earn the draw.
