Ramiz Zerrouki made his long-awaited return to action for Feyenoord after two and a half months on the sidelines, featuring in his side’s dominant 4-1 win over Groningen.
The Algerian midfielder, who had been named on the bench three days earlier, was introduced in the 65th minute with Feyenoord holding a narrow 2-1 lead.
His return was a welcome boost for the team as they looked to consolidate their position in the Eredivisie standings.
Zerrouki’s Impact on Feyenoord’s Third Goal
Although Anis Hadj Moussa had already put his name on the scoresheet for Feyenoord’s opening goal, Zerrouki played a crucial role in the team’s third.
In the 82nd minute, the midfielder found himself in the penalty area as Brazilian forward Igor Paixão prepared to strike.
The build-up saw Hadj Moussa release Givairo Read into space, who then delivered a cutback into the box.
Zerrouki, attempting to meet the ball, barely made contact, but his touch was deemed significant enough to be credited with an assist for Paixão’s goal.
Feyenoord Secure Emphatic Victory
The Rotterdam-based club ultimately sealed an emphatic 4-1 victory, climbing onto the podium in the Eredivisie standings.
Zerrouki’s return adds depth to Feyenoord’s midfield as they continue their push for a strong finish to the season.
Having recovered from his injury setback, the Algerian international will be eager to reclaim a regular starting spot and contribute further in the crucial matches ahead.
