Feyenoord vs FC Groningen

Feyenoord closed out a composed afternoon at De Kuip with a comfortable 3-1 win over Groningen in Eredivisie matchday 31. The star of the show was Ayase Ueda, who scored twice and ensured the Rotterdam side made no mistake. Jordan Bos got things started in the 11th minute, and Ueda doubled the lead from the penalty spot just 11 minutes later. The Japanese striker wasn't done, adding a second in the 67th minute to put the result beyond doubt. Thom van Bergen pulled one back for Groningen in the 86th, though it was little more than consolation. The afternoon also had a historic footnote: Illai Grootfaam came off the bench in the 83rd minute to become Feyenoord's youngest-ever debutant. The three points keep Feyenoord firmly in second place with 58 points, though the gap to league leaders PSV (77 points) means the title is out of reach. Groningen, sitting ninth, return home still searching for consistency after back-to-back draws.
