Hwang In-beom conquered the Dutch stage in a short period of time.
Feyenoord scored a 2-1 victory over Tvente in the eighth round of the Dutch Eredivisie in the 2024-25 season at the Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, at 9:30 p.m. on the 6th (Korea time). Hwang scored his debut goal after entering the Dutch league, leading his team to victory. Feyenoord continued its unbeaten streak for seven consecutive league matches, jumping to fifth place in the league.
Feyenoord brought a 4-3-3 formation. Faixiang, Ueda, Osman, Maduro, Hwang In-beom, Milambo, Bueno, Hantzko, Beillon, and Rotomba started, and Belenoyer defended the goal. Against this, Tvente utilized a 4-2-3-1 formation. Rammers, Van Bergen, Stein, Lotz, Blab, Legier, Sala-Edin, Brance, Hillhurs, and Van Ruiz filled the starting list, and Unnerstal wore goalie gloves.
Both teams were showing their competitiveness in the league, so a fierce match was expected. Tvente did not easily expect Feyenoord’s victory because he was so powerful as to draw the UEFA Europa League (UEL) match against Manchester United. It was actually Feyenoord’s home, but Tvente was higher in terms of possession and number of passes. Tvente also produced a more threatening scene, with Feyenoord recording two shots and Tvente recording five shots.
Feyenoord won the match, however. Ayase Ueda took the lead in the 28th minute of the first half. Hwang In-beom scored an additional goal in the 43rd minute of the first half to seal the victory. Feyenoord scored a comeback goal to Semstein in the 34th minute of the second half, but failed to score an additional goal to keep the score at 2-1.
Hwang had the best performance. Based on the soccer statistics media Sofa Score, Hwang posted a 91 percent pass success rate, 67 cheek touches, five long passes, and two successful ground competitions, and was given the highest combined rating of 7.6.
His teammates also praised him. Quinton Timber, the team’s “captain” and who formed the mid-field line with Hwang, said, “Hwang has adapted himself as soon as he joined the team. He communicates well and judges situations quickly. He also gives his teammates a lot of coaching. He is an outstanding player who can use both feet freely. I’m really glad to be in his team. I always say high pressure, and he is the most ideal model to match that.”
Since his visit to the Netherlands, he has enjoyed immense celebration. Hwang was named Feyenoord’s Player of the Month in September. Having displayed outstanding performances since his debut, he quickly established himself by playing full-time for four consecutive games from the match against Neymeheon to the match against Girona. Hwang, who was named Player of the Month, said, “I don’t know if I deserve this award. This award is taken as a gift and allows me to be better.” 스포츠토토
Following player of the month and debut goal, player of the week and man of the match (MOM) have been swept. The Netherlands’ ESPN announced the best 11 in the eighth round of the Eredivisie, and Hwang was named in the central midfielder section. In addition, media outlets pointed to Hwang as the best player. Marciano Bink, who used to play for the Netherlands in the past, said, “It is very impressive that he can leave his mark in such a short time at Feyenoord.” Hwang was named to this week’s team for the second time of the season.
