Anis Hadj Moussa produced a commanding performance as Feyenoord cruised to a 3-0 victory over Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday, cementing his role as a key figure for the Rotterdam side.
From the opening whistle, the 23-year-old Algerian winger was heavily involved, setting the tone for Feyenoord’s attacking display.
In the fifth minute, Hadj Moussa delivered a perfectly weighted corner that found Tsuyoshi Watanabe, who headed home to give Feyenoord an early lead.
“A perfect beginning for Feyenoord, who needed a reaction after a difficult period,” observers noted.
Hadj Moussa did not stop at providing an assist.
In the 68th minute, he scored with a powerful, low left-footed shot from inside the box, leaving the Sturm Graz goalkeeper with no chance.
The goal demonstrated his confidence and ability to influence major matches.
The winger was substituted in the 71st minute to preserve him for upcoming fixtures, leaving the pitch to applause after a performance that highlighted his constant presence in attack, precise set-piece delivery, and decisive impact.
With eight goals and four assists across all competitions this season, Hadj Moussa is experiencing a resurgence in form after a quieter spell, proving his importance to Feyenoord’s European ambitions.
His contributions arrive at a crucial time as Feyenoord chases a playoff spot in the Europa League ahead of a decisive final group match against Real Betis Sevilla.
The performance also reinforces Hadj Moussa’s growing profile in Europe, with several clubs reportedly monitoring his progress following a display that combined creativity, efficiency, and attacking flair.
