Feyenoord have dropped points in the first match of their Eredivisie season. The reigning champions were forced to play a large part of the match against Fortuna Sittard with ten men after a red card for the returning Bart Nieuwkoop and could not score in de Kuip: 0-0. Feyenoord lost 1-0 over a week ago at home against PSV in de Johan Cruijff schaal.
PSV is set to finish in second place in the Eredivisie, which gives you a spot in the qualifying stages of the Champions League after beating Fortuna Sittard. Ruud van Nistelrooij’s side won 2-1 at home in the Philips Stadium. It was far from easy, but Xavi Simons made the difference in the closing stages with a beautiful goal.
