Summary: Timo Roosen attacks with 5kms left, he is going to bring Marcus Diamond with him. Not the guy he wanted to see on his wheel.


Diamond quickly overtakes, but has company coming to the banner.


Zipping past is Yauheni Karaliok and Belgian champion Edward Theuns.


It will be a win for Karaliok, who wasn't fazed by the cobbles today.

Result: 10th - Was never going to beat somebody like Karaliok or Theuns in a sprint, so I decided to press my luck with what seemed like a good move at the time. A top 10 to end the season will do.

Summary: Feyenoord more than holds its own in a difficult environment. The rain was a key equalizer and prevented either team from scoring.

Rating: 6.6 - Subbed on in the 67th minute. Not much impact.

Player of Game: Reece Oxford, Borussia Dortmund (7.3)

Summary: Misleading scoreline. Feyenoord should have won this 4-0 or 5-0. Two saved penalties and a couple of crossbars went begging.

Rating: 7.6 - Assisted the first goal by Yassin Ayoub with a pinpoint pass inside the box. I also smacked the crossbar from about 25 yards out. It was an absolute screamer.

Player of Game: Mickey van der Hart, PEC Zwolle (7.6)

Summary: It wasn't pretty, but Nigeria gets the job done. First-half goals from Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon were enough. Comoros scored its only shot on target in the 80th minute.

Rating: 6.7 - Got some playing time as a roaming playmaker striker and picked up another assist on Iwobi's goal.

Player of Game: Alex Iwobi, Nigeria (8.6)

Summary: Nigeria takes this contest way too lightly. But they do manage to overcome giving up the opening goal on Burundi's only shot on target in the whole game.

Rating: 6.7 - Coach wasn't too happy after the match.

Player of Game: Alex Iwobi, Nigeria (7.6)

Summary: Dylan Klok comes off the bench and saves Feyenoord from losing its first league game of the season. His 10th goal of the season.

Rating: 6.6 - A bystander and subbed off in the 62nd minute.

Player of Game: Queensy Menig, FC Groningen (7.5)

Summary: In a game Feyenoord had to win to keep its Champions League hopes alive, Harry Kane provided the dagger.

Sven van Beek gave Feyenoord some life by tying the game at 1-1 in the 81st minute at the Etihad Stadium. But a poor challenge put Kane on the spot and he buried the game-winning penalty to the delight of the light blue home supporters.

Rating: 6.3 - Subbed on after Pedro Empis was injured in the 48th minute. The pressure got to me, no other way to put it. I strangely didn't feel like myself. I have to be better.

Player of Game: Harry Kane, Manchester City (8.6)

Summary: Feyenoord finds its scoring boots again. Four different goal scorers with some classy goals mixed in. However, the defense continues to be a problem. Two goals to Jari Oosterwijk late into the contest.

Rating: 6.7 - Subbed on in the 62nd minute. Ran around, that's about it.

Player of Game: Jari Oosterwijk, FC Twente (8.7)

Summary: Feyenoord gets absolutely embarrassed away from home. Outplayed and outworked. Thomas Meunier even put the ball into his own net with a careless back pass. Ugly. First Eredivisie loss of the season for Feyenoord.

Rating: 6.4 - Started, but probably shouldn't have.

Summary: FC Volendam goes down to 10 men in the 26th minute and still manages to escape with a 0-0 draw. This will certainly feel like a loss for Feyenoord. The home supporters were eagerly waiting for a bunch of goal and instead got a boring scoreless game in the rain.

Rating: 6.4 - Came on at halftime and didn't make a difference.

Player of Game: Tyrell Malacia, Feyenoord (7.2)

Summary: If only this Champions League meant something because Feyenoord pulls off one of the most incredible comebacks in recent memory. Two goals coming in the 93rd and 94th minute stun AS Monaco, who is moving on to the next round regardless.

Rating: 7.8 - Sub super to the rescue! I crossed in the assist for Emilian Brie's game-tying goal and then did this from an impossible angle to send our home faithful into an absolute frenzy. They deserve it after what happened three days ago.

Oh, and not to mention, I was playing on a twisted ankle.


Player of Game: Marcus Diamond, Feyenoord (7.8)

The ankle swelling kept me out of Match Day #17 vs. ADO Den Haag. Feyenoord drew 2-2 after an 80th minute equalizer by Nick Foss.

Summary: Hat trick from Nick Foss helps Feyenoord build up a 4-0 lead. Excelsior doesn't go down quietly and scores three times to make the scoreline more respectable at 5-3.

Rating: 6.7 - Just want to point out that Excelsior didn't start scoring until I was subbed off the pitch in the 56th minute. Coincidence?

Player of Game: Nick Foss, Feyenoord (9.4)

Summary: Go Ahead Eagles caught Feyenoord napping early on, but the tides quickly shifted. Nick Foss and Otavio each scored in a game Feyenoord pretty much controlled. Finishing more chances would be ideal, however.

Rating: N/A - Subbed on in the 87th minute. Maybe touched the ball five times and ran less than a quarter of a mile. Fun.

Player of Game: Octavio, Feyenoord (7.8)

Summary: A week after notching a hat trick against Excelsior, Nick Foss has riffled in three more goals against Roda JC. The striker wanted by Napoli and Valencia has now equaled Dylan Klok for the team lead in Eredivisie goals with 10.

Rating: 6.7 - Made a couple of key passes.
