The point moves Feyenoord up to 20th in the UCL league table on seven points. They’re now just a point behind Manchester City who occupy 15th place. Fortuna Sittard and Waalwijk are their next opponents in the Eredivisie, then it’s Sparta Prague at home in the Champions League. A huge opportunity for Priske’s side to fly even further up the standings.
