This loss sees us drop to fourth place but its a long season. We are now in a two week break where World Cup Qualies are being played.

So after weeks of international breaks and a postponed game we resume the league. There are three topteams in the Eredivisie. Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV. Our first match against one of these teams was this weekend. Away in Eindhoven we played PSV.

The last game before the next international break was at home against AZ Alkmaar. Feyenoord is a traditional top club in my country but lately their spot in the top 3 has been threatened by AZ. AZ's coach decided to leave AZ last season to join us this season. Needless to say this match had some tension on it.

We are back after the international break and yes we are back in partial lockdown. The stadium is empty. That sucks but we have to march on. Feyenoord is the team with the least lost points in the league. Can they keep it that way against PEC Zwolle?

Our fifth match in the group stage of the Conference League was away in Prague against Slavia Prague. Again no video available at this moment in time.
The result was 2-2. Feyenoord received a red card early on in the match but managed a draw in the final minutes of the game. That result secures the win in this group which means we will go directly to the knock out phase which starts with a final 16 round that will be played in March
Group standing
1. Feyenoord 11-5 2. Slavia Prague 7-5 3. Union Berlin 6-5 4. Maccabi Haifa 4-5
One final match will be played. Feyenoord will face Maccabi Haifa at home. Unfortunately the stadium will be empty then due to pandemic restrictions.
