Feyenoord Rotterdam Women 1-3 Nordsjaelland Women | International Club Friendly | July 19, 2026

Nordsjaelland Women claimed an impressive 3‑1 victory over Feyenoord Rotterdam Women in an international club friendly played at a neutral venue on Sunday evening. The Danish side’s sharp counter‑attacking play proved too much for the Dutch hosts, who were caught out defensively on several occasions.

Friendly Match Report

The game began at a high tempo, with both sides looking to impress in pre‑season preparations. Feyenoord took an early lead in the 8th minute when forward Esmee de Graaf capitalised on a defensive mix‑up to slot home. However, Nordsjaelland responded quickly: midfielder Signe Bruun equalised in the 19th minute with a powerful strike from distance.

The visitors grew in confidence and went ahead in the 34th minute after a swift breakaway, finished by winger Emilie Henriksen. Feyenoord pushed for an equaliser in the second half but were caught out again in the 72nd minute when substitute Maja Hagemann made it 3‑1 with a composed finish.

Key Moments

• 8’ – De Graaf (Feyenoord) scores from close range after poor Nordsjaelland clearance.
• 19’ – Bruun (Nordsjaelland) unleashes a 25‑yard rocket into the top corner.
• 34’ – Henriksen (Nordsjaelland) races onto a through ball and chips the advancing goalkeeper.
• 72’ – Hagemann (Nordsjaelland) finishes a well‑worked team move from inside the box.

Tactical Observations

Feyenoord dominated possession (62%) and had more shots overall (14 to Nordsjaelland’s 10), but the Danish side were far more clinical. Nordsjaelland’s high defensive line and quick transitions caused problems all evening. The friendly served as useful preparation for both sides ahead of their respective domestic league campaigns.

Looking Ahead

Feyenoord Women will return to training with lessons to learn about defensive organisation. Nordsjaelland Women, meanwhile, will take great confidence from this performance as they continue their pre‑season schedule. The result underlined the growing standard of women’s club football in Denmark.
