Ivan Perisic's strong performance made Hwang In-beom cry.
Feyenoord, where Hwang In-beom is active, lost 2-3 in the 32nd round of the Netherlands' Eredivisie 2024-2025 season against PSV Eindhoven at 9:30 p.m. on the 11th (Korea time). The defeat made Feyenoord impossible to chase second-place Eindhoven.
Feyenoord, where Hwang In-beom played as a starter, chased second-place Eindhoven with a whopping seven consecutive wins in the league after Robin van Persie took office. He even made an opportunity to catch up with Eindhoven at the end of the league and prepared for a face-off.
The early stages of the game were good. Feyenoord took the lead when Igor Faichen scored in the first five minutes. Five minutes later, with an additional goal from Givario Reed, Feyenoord easily won against Eindhoven.
However, the game began to turn upside down in the second half, and the player who played the starting role was surprisingly 36-year-old veteran Ivan Perisic. In the fifth minute of the second half, Eindhoven's attack succeeded in reaching the Feyenoord penalty box. Luke The Dragon held out in a mixed situation, and Perisic appeared and succeeded in finishing with a strong shot.
Perisic's performance did not end here. In the 28th minute of the second half, Perisic ran from the right with the ball on Eindhoven's counterattack. Perisic crossed correctly to Noah Lang on the other side, and the game was at square one when Li finished with a bold shot.
Perisic left work in the 43rd minute of the second half after scoring one goal and one assist. In the match made by Perisic, Eindhoven secured second place with a valuable victory when Lang's theater comeback goal just before the end of the game.
The reason why the defeat is so painful for Hwang In-beom is that the Dutch league can receive a direct ticket to the European Champions League (UCL) finals up to second place. If they reach third place, they will head to the preliminary round, not the UCL finals. You can participate from the third qualifying round. After advancing to the third qualifying round and winning, they must pass the final playoff to participate in the UCL finals. Since the UCL qualifying round is so fierce, it is very difficult to guarantee that they will go to the UCL finals if they advance to the third qualifying round.
Meanwhile, Perisic, who did not fit in well tactically with Son Heung-min at Tottenham, is active despite suffering a major injury of a cruciate ligament rupture in his mid-30s. Perisic, who has been wearing Eindhoven's uniform since this season, has established himself as Eindhoven's ace by creating career high-class offensive points with 15 goals and 11 assists in 33 games.
