No stop. Santiago Giménez , Mexican forward for Feyenoord , was the one who 'broke' the score in favor of his team against Heerenveen in the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup. The popular 'Bebote' shined with a great finish in the area to score the definitive 1-0 in the Abe Lenstra Stadion.
Just when everything seemed to indicate that the match would end in a draw, the 21-year-old footballer made his presence felt on Heerenveen's field and scored the winning goal for his team at the 80th minute of extra time. Assisted by Danilo, Giménez only had to place the ball as far away from the opposing goalkeeper as possible to achieve the goal.
In great form in the 'Old Continent', the former Cruz Azul player scored his second goal in the Dutch Cup after three games played in the competition. Along these lines, Giménez reached twelve goals with Feyenoord in the current season, registering a total of six goals in the Eredivisie and another four in the Europa League.
What's next for Giménez at Feyenoord?
Qualified for the next round of the Dutch Cup this Wednesday, Feyenoord will have to wait until tomorrow to know their possible opponent in the semifinals, with PSV and Ajax being their main threats in the race for the title. As for their next match, the team where Giménez plays will have to prepare to host Groningen in the local league.
Leading the Eredivisie with 52 points, Feyenoord's players know that they cannot relax for a second in the tournament because Ajax, who is second in the table, is only three units behind. After 23 matchdays, the team led by Arne Slot has 15 wins, 7 draws, and just one loss. Will they be able to stay at the top?
