In the match against the Dutch championship, Feenoord dramatically lost to Sparta Rotterdam with a score of 3:4, although the team's head coach Robin van Persie released his son Shaquille van Persie, who scored a debut double in the senior level.

The 19-year forward of Feinoord scored two incredible goals between the 87th and 88th centuries, moving the ratio from 1:3 to 3:3. I will finish off with an elegant blow with the heel, and through the fork, hitting the goal of my opponent with a knife blow through myself.
