Georgino Wijnaldum’s late goal secures draw
By: Jackson | May 5th, 2009Feyenoord’s remarkable play under Leon Vlemmings continued with a come from behind 2-2 draw against Utrecht.
Home side Utrecht were gifted an early chance with a peculiar penalty call on Kelvin Leerdam. Although Tom Caluwé was unable to convert from the spot only a few minutes later he opened the scoring as his drive from the left edge of the area took a slight deflection and into the back of the net. The Rotterdammers was able to equalize four minutes before the half-hour Giovanni van Bronckhorst accepted the ball on the left outskirts of the box and sent a low pass for Jon Dahl Tomasson to re-direct in. Chances were scarce for the balance of the half but after the restart Leon Vlemmings came out with a vengenance but attempts by Leroy Fer and Tim de Cler struck the bar. Five minutes past the hour Utrecht took the lead as Leroy George’s corner was half-volleyed in by Sander Keller from a few metres out. Needing production, Leon Vlemmings reached for forever young Michael Mols and as expected was warmly received by the host supporters remembering his days with the club. A minute later the match was even as Diego Biseswar’s diagonal cross into the box was headed-in by Georgino Wijnaldum.
Feyenoord’s final match of the season is Sunday as Roda JC visits de Kuip.

realistically only a point needed against roda on sunday then, right? they will surely put up a fight in a hope to avoid relegation, but feyenoord is in form and at home. it’s hard not to be optimistic.
it’s strange . . . before the season, finishing in the europa league playoffs might’ve been seen as a disappointing season. however, it now seems like an accomplishment. a funny game, this football.
