After their impressive 7-1 win over Heracles last week, Feyenoord were expected to return home with the three points from their away clash with RBC Roosendaal. However, the game was easy only on paper as the homeside managed to score twice early on and made the job rather difficult for Ghaly's side to come back into the game.

Feyenoord used the offside trap tactic in defense which didn't work well for the Rotterdammers as RBC's forward Kpaka managed to penetrate Feyenoord's defense in the first minute of the game and score to give the homeside the early lead.

Feyenoord tried to recover from their early shock but instead of leveling the score, they conceded another goal in the 18th minute through Loran and their job started to be even more difficult.

After the two RBC goals, Feyenoord managed to score a goal through Pardo in the 21st minute.


After Pardo's goal, Feyenoord fought back and Kalou had an effort on goal that was cleared off the line by a defender. The same player also got real chance to score with his head but his header lacked power.

In the 37th minute, Erwin Koeman decided to bring an attacking player at the expense of a defender. He took the defender Snoyl off and replaced him with the striker Biseswar.

In the second half, Feyenoord continued their pressure, they won many corner kicks and freekicks but they Couldn't level the score until the 73rd minute when the youngster De Guzman scored the equalizer.

After the equaliser, RBC played more defensive and the game ended in a disappointing 2-2 draw. Egyptian midfielder Hossam Ghaly played the full match but he didn't get close chances.
