With a goal in extra time from Norwegian Marcus Pedersen, Feyenoord completed the comeback (2-1) against AZ Alkmaar, their closest rivals, and reaffirmed their leadership in the Eredivisie.
The rivalry between the first two of the Dutch championship ended in local victory, for the leader, who now leads AZ by five points and forces Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, third and fourth respectively, to fulfill their commitment on Sunday against Sparta Rotterdam and Utrecht respectively..
And Arne Slot’s Feyenoord had to go against the tide as after fifteen minutes an own goal by Javairo Dilrosun put the visitors ahead.
Two goals in additions
Feyenoord tried to equalise, scoring the goal in extra time in the first half through a header from Iranian Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who beat Australian Mathew Ryan.
Feyenoord didn’t complete the comeback until extra time, when Norwegian Pedersen took the ball into the net in the 91′ and gave them the win.
Third-placed Ajax will overtake AZ for second place and stay three points behind Feyenoord if they beat Sparta Rotterdam at home on Sunday.
