Cyriel Dessers volleyed in an equaliser as Feyenoord Rotterdam came from behind to run out 5-2 victors against Serbian side Red Belgrade in a dominant UEFA Europa Conference League match on Thursday night.
It was Feyenoord’s first victory in Serbia since 1981 and Dessers’ 11th goal of the season.
Megasportsarena.com reports that it was Dessers’ first start in three months and the Nigeria international was satisfied with his performance on the night.
“This is my first start in three months and I thought I was doing okay both physically and on the pitch. I hope this is the starting signal: the first game ok, the second good and from the third game I can hopefully get back to my top form. I’m looking forward to finally showing that.”
On the game, the former Genk attacker said they made the game difficult for themselves, as they conceded quick goals.
“I don’t think we played badly, but we conceded two goals out of nowhere and made it difficult for ourselves. After the 2-2, the team calmed down a bit. We started to play the ball better and came into our own power.
“If you can come back like that and score five goals against a team that hasn’t lost here this season, that says something.”
