Unseen hero earns ADO Den Haag a point at Feyenoord | OneFootball

Kilian Nikiema turned the tie with a point-blank save in the 47th minute, anchoring ADO Den Haag to a 2-2 draw at Feyenoord with 10 saves.

He had already parried Gjivai Zechiël's low drive (32.). After the interval, he got down smartly to repel Sem Steijn (46.). Moments later, he smothered Ayase Ueda from close range (47.).

As the hosts surged, he blocked Anis Hadj Moussa from the centre (75.). He then tipped another Zechiël effort wide (82.). Late on, he clawed away Steijn's strike (88.) before holding firm again in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.

He finished with 10 saves from 12 shots on target faced, a steadying presence under 33 Feyenoord attempts. Strong handling from corners and clean footwork under pressure repeatedly allowed ADO Den Haag to reset their defensive shape.

Sitting in a compact block and looking to counter, ADO Den Haag relied on Nikiema's reflexes against cut-backs and low crosses, which kept Feyenoord's front line at bay during the heaviest spells of pressure.

ADO Den Haag host Fortuna Sittard next. Feyenoord visit NEC Nijmegen next.
