The third goal arrived midway through the second half, a header from a well-delivered free kick that sealed the comprehensive win.

Tactical Story
Feyenoord's high-energy press forced Utrecht into mistakes in dangerous areas. The home side's midfield trio dominated the central areas, allowing their wingers to isolate full-backs in one-on-one situations. This created the space for all three goals, with Feyenoord's movement off the ball proving too much for Utrecht to handle.
FC Utrecht tried to play direct balls to their lone striker, but Feyenoord's center-backs dealt comfortably with aerial threats. The visitors lacked the creativity to break down a well-organized Feyenoord defensive shape.
