AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- Goals from substitutes Igor
Korneev and Peter van Vossen eased Feyenoord Rotterdam to a 3-1
victory over MVV Maastricht Sunday.
Feyenoord joins Ajax Amsterdam, SC Heerenveen and FC Utrecht with
six points from two games. Utrecht leads the Dutch premiership on
goal difference after downing Cambuur Leeuwarden 3-0.
Henk Vos put Feyenoord ahead after just ten minutes with a
glancing header from Jean-Paul van Gastel's free kick.
The Rotterdammers had three strong appeals for penalties during
the first half, two of them as Ivory Coast winger Bonaventure Kalou
broke into the box.
The most convincing saw Kalou upended by the fierce advance of
MVV keeper Rein van Duijnhoven but referee Dick van Egmond was
unmoved.
Danny Landzaat equalized for MVV five minutes into the second
period, but then Feyenoord's subs won the game.
An individual assault on the MVV defense from Igor Korneev made
it 21 as the Russian struggled through challenges from three
defenders before firing home.
Peter van Vossen scored his first goal back on Dutch soil after
three years at Glasgow Rangers, and it was a masterpiece.
Van Vossen picked up the ball in the center circle, beat five
men with his dribble and rolled the ball home from a tight angle.
In Sunday's other games, FC Twente downed Sparta Rotterdam 1-0
and NEC Nijmegen versus NAC Breda stayed goalless.
