NAC reached a 3-2 advantage in the first half in Breda when Tom Holtby supplied a cross that Andre Ayew finished with a headed goal; Holtby is listed at 35 years old and Ayew at 36 in the match notes, and that pair were credited with putting NAC ahead before the break.

Ueda, Valente and Sowah Keep Feyenoord in Touch as Sterling Starts

Feyenoord opened the scoring in Breda when Ueda met a corner with a flying header to make it 0-1; that strike was his first since early December and marked his nineteenth goal of the season, leaving him still as the team’s top scorer.

Kamal Sowah then equalized from a chance that came loose after a corner, converting a fortuitous rebound to level the match at 1-1 only minutes after Feyenoord’s opener.

Later in the half, Valente produced a curled finish into the top corner with his left foot; play briefly checked for a potential offside involving right back Deijl, but the offside flag was not raised and the Oranje-international’s goal stood.

Feyenoord’s left flank was a clear focus for attacks, and Raheem Sterling, starting as left winger, was frequently sought for his pace though he had not yet produced a clear scoring chance before halftime.

Other Eredivisie results were noted in the same coverage: Telstar won 4-1 away and Twente beat Go Ahead 4-1, outcomes that were recorded separately from the Breda match.

If the second half produces no further goals, NAC’s halftime lead will determine the final result; if Feyenoord breaks through after the interval, the outcome can still change based on second-half scoring.
