Feyenoord won the Rotterdam derby on Saturday as they beat Excelsior 4-2 in the Van Donge & De Row stadium. Santiago Gimenez ended his poor run of form with a hat trick to help Arne Slot’s side to the win. The visitors took the lead after just six minutes when Igor Paixao’s perfect cross was met by Gimenez at the back post, who only had to make contact with the ball to get the goal.
Feyenoord picked up their first victory of the season on their third attempt on Sunday in de Kuip against newly promoted Almere City. Santiago Gimenez, Igor Paixao, Lutsharel Geertruida, Mats Wieffer, and Quinten Timber scored the goals as the reigning champions romped to a 6-1 victory.
