Hossam Ghaly's Feyenoord achieved a comfortable home victory over NEC by three goals to nil. The Rotterdammers will also face Rapid Bucharest tonight in Europe's second competition.



Ghaly and his teammate Dirk Kuyt

The game on Sunday was the last test for Feyenoord before their UEFA Cup clash with the Romanian side Rapid Bucharest on Thursday. Hossam Ghaly and his teammates succeeded in remaining on top of the league table as they achieved their 4th win out of four matches.

The victory came over NEC by three goals to nil. Hossam Ghaly did very well in the game and was about to give the Rotterdammers the lead in the 9th minute when he tested the ex-Feyenoord goalkeeper Gabor Babos with a powerful shot but the Hungarian keeper managed to save Ghaly's shot in style.

The first goal came through the striker Kalou in the 42nd minute while the 2nd and 3rd came both in the 2nd half. The second goal was scored by Pardo in the 72nd minute while the third came very late through Romeo Castelen in the 90th minute of the game.


The Egyptian Ghaly continued to perform well in the 2nd half and had another effort on goal that was denied once again by his ex-teammate goalkeeper Babos. Ghaly also had a close chance in the early minutes of the 2nd half but neither him nor Kuyt was able to get to the ball on time.

It should be noted that Ghaly and his teammates will face Rapid Bucharest tonight in UEFA cup. The team is on top form in the Eredivisie with Erwin Koeman at helm, and a good start in UEFA cup is all what they need.

Come to EP tonight for updates on the score and a full report.
