LIVE | PEC Zwolle is not involved yet: Jasper Schendelaar prevents an early 1-0 for Feyenoord | PEC Zwolle

Feyenoord starts, the ball suddenly lands at Ueda’s feet and he scores the opening goal.

PEC plays well under the pressure of Feyenoord and can become dangerous through Velanas. Van der Water is free on the edge of the sixteen, but Velanas unfortunately cannot get the ball past Trauner. We are therefore still waiting for the visitors’ first chance.

Paixão is ultimately the one who gets to take the free kick, but his effort does not go further than the wall. Feyenoord is left with a corner kick.

Feyenoord gets an opportunity to attack the goal again. Stengs and Paixão are behind the ball for a free kick in an interesting spot.

Geertruida is already thinking about shooting when Van der Water prevents the Feyenoord defender from actually taking a swing with a perfect sliding. The home team seems to increase the pace a bit.

Although Feyenoord has certainly not produced the best football of the season so far, Schendelaar has already had to perform a number of times. The goalkeeper now does this well again when Stengs’ pass is just a little too hard for Ivanusec. Schendelaar prevents the Croat from becoming dangerous.

Unlike Feyenoord’s first corner, this one does not create a chance for the home team. Schendelaar can easily pick the ball out of the air. PEC Zwolle then lost it very quickly.

The crowd in De Kuip cheers up for a moment when Van Polen is forced to give away a corner kick.

PEC was briefly in Feyenoord’s half, but goalkeeper Justin Bijlow is attentive and prevents Lennart Thy from getting to the ball.

Ten minutes played in De Kuip. Feyenoord immediately started in the first two minutes and was close to an early 1-0 from a corner kick, but it no longer became dangerous after that. PEC Zwolle nevertheless does not get around to playing football yet.

And there is almost immediately the 1-0. Goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar is alert early on: he makes a great save on a header.

Not even a minute has been played and Feyenoord is already allowed to take a corner kick. Reijnders prevents Háncko from taking fire on the goal with a good intervention.

The match is on! Can PEC pull off a stunt tonight?

The players from Feyenoord and PEC Zwolle have entered the field. The meeting in matchday 32 of the Premier League is about to start!

Arne Slot is in his last weeks as Feyenoord coach, Bram van Polen as a footballer. The two know each other well from their joint period at PEC Zwolle.

Tonight’s meeting is also a special one for Kenneth Vermeer. The PEC Zwolle goalkeeper wore the Feyenoord shirt in the past. After his exciting switch from Ajax to Rotterdam, he played 133 games for the Stadium Club.

For PEC Zwolle’s last victory over Feyenoord, we have to go back to 2019. The Zwolle team were 3-1 too strong on the nineteenth of January of that year. Bram van Polen, Vito van Crooy and Younes Namli, who is missing tonight due to suspension, then scored the goals.

After that victory, Feyenoord and PEC Zwolle faced each other seven times and all those matches resulted in a Rotterdam victory. The first mutual meeting of this season ended in a 0-2 victory for the formation of coach Arne Slot. Both goals were scored by Santiago Giménez, who will have to hope for a substitute tonight.

Arne Slot is on the bench at Feyenoord for the hundredth time tonight. The trainer, who will most likely leave the Rotterdam team after this season for an adventure in England, of course has a past with PEC Zwolle. As a player, he wore the shirt of the Zwolle club 176 times, scoring 52 goals and 30 assists. After his playing career, Slot worked as a youth coach in Zwolle.
