Feyenoord came to Cambuur Stadion and put on a ruthless display of attacking football, running out 5-2 winners in a one-sided affair. The visitors were four goals up by half-time, having completely overwhelmed their hosts in the opening period. Cambuur showed some fight after the break and managed to pull two goals back, but there was never any real prospect of a comeback. Gjivai Zechiël was the standout performer in Feyenoord's midfield, pulling the strings throughout and earning the man of the match award for his efforts. The scoreline rather flatters Cambuur in the end. Feyenoord had 14 shots compared to the hosts' 11, and were generally more clinical in front of goal with seven efforts on target to Cambuur's four. It was a demolition job in the first half that essentially settled things before the second-half kickoff. For Cambuur, this heavy defeat will sting, but they at least salvaged some pride with a couple of late goals to make the final scoreline look a touch more respectable.
The Matchup
Cambuur 2-5 Feyenoord was the final score at Cambuur Stadion, in a game where Feyenoord did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 45% in favour of Cambuur, Feyenoord made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 11 attempts from Cambuur against 14 from Feyenoord over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Feyenoord, and Cambuur pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood.
