Cyriel Dessers at the double to give Feyenoord advantage over Marseille ahead of second leg

A Duje Caleta-Car howler meant that Cyriel Dessers’ brace gave Feyenoord a 3-2 victory against Olympique de Marseille’s in the UEFA Europa Conference League at De Kuip. Feyenoord started off well, and were able to hold off Marseille’s early pressure. As the hosts grew into the game, they continuously were able to get behind Marseille’s back line with balls from above.

Ad/> Their first goal came when Luis Sinisterra received the ball, and backheeled it to teammate Dessers, who was able to slot it past Steve Mandanda and score.

He passed to Sinisterra, whose first tine shot took a deflection into the net.

After scoring twice, the hosts seemed to take their foot off the gas, allowing Marseille back into the match. Bamba Dieng, who had earlier scuffed two big chances, got his side back in it by scoring an absolute rocket from outside the box, with the spin on the ball giving Ofir Marciano no chance. The equaliser came in the 40th minute when Marciano spilled Matteo Guendouzi’s cross, straight to Gerson who hammered it into the net.

Ten seconds after the whistle to start the second half, Caleta-Car made an awfully silly mistake. He attempted to pass the ball to his keeper, but it was extremely short, allowing Dessers to pounce and score his second of the night, giving Feyenoord the lead again.
