Feyenoord once again
proved to be very (too) dependent on Pierre van Hooijdonk's influence after
the Rotterdammers were headed for a draw against Utrecht at the Kuip this
afternoon. The tall striker came on for the last 10 minutes of play and
revitalized a flagging eleven into a late series of attacks on the Utrecht
goal with the desired result - a goal by Paul Bosvelt to snatch the
much-needed points. Australian international Brett Emerton put the home team
ahead in the 32nd but Utrecht fought back and deserved a 78th minute equalizer by Stefan Tanghe,
a finely judged lob over Carlo l'Ami's head. The Domstad side looked to
have earned a point before P-Air's pass was fed through to Bosvelt by Buffel
and the Feyenoord captain came up with an equally impressive lob of his own
for the late match-winner in the 89th.
