Decisive figure strikes early and steadies Feyenoord at Utrecht | OneFootball

Oussama Targhalline settled it in the 10th minute with a right-footed strike from outside the box, as Feyenoord beat Utrecht 1-0.

He arrived onto Jakub Moder's pass and drove low into the bottom left (10.), a clean connection from distance that gave the visitors instant control.

After the restart he tried from range again (50.), then leaned into the other side of his game, snapping into duels and shutting passing lanes to protect the lead.

The midfielder finished with two attempts, one on target, plus eight possession wins and three interceptions, and he completed 16 passes in the final third to keep Feyenoord advancing in the right areas.

His positioning in midfield let him receive early, step onto second balls and keep Utrecht facing their own goal, ensuring the decisive moment defined the contest rather than opening it up.

Feyenoord rise from third to second in the Eredivisie and host Go Ahead Eagles next. Utrecht visit NEC Nijmegen next.
