Feyenoord had a chance to extend their lead over rivals Ajax and NEC, who both dropped points earlier in the weekend. Instead, a win would've given Robin van Persie's team a 7-point lead over third-placed Ajax. Now, Ajax is closing in on Feyenoord's second-place position.

FC Twente's Sam Lammers had the first chance, but Feyenoord threatened to take the lead early through Anis Hadj Moussa, whose shot hit the post. The early attack set the tone, but Feyenoord couldn't capitalize on the momentum.

Feyenoord struggled to maintain their intensity and allowed FC Twente to dictate the pace. Daan Rots and Sondre Orjasaeter tested Timon Wellenreuther with shots, but the goalkeeper held firm, keeping the score goalless at the break.

Robin van Persie was forced into two early changes due to injuries. Bart Nieuwkoop replaced Gijs Smal in the 32nd minute, but Nieuwkoop himself was substituted seven minutes later after clashing with Sondre Orjasaeter, with Jordan Lotomba coming on.

Jakub Moder had a great chance to open the scoring for Feyenoord in the 41st minute, but his effort was off target. Instead, it was Kristian Hlynsson who broke the deadlock in the first minute of added time. Timon Wellenreuther misjudged Hlynsson's shot, and the ball bounced off the goalkeeper and into the net, giving FC Twente the lead.
