In the last fifteen minutes Linssen was allowed to try to force something as a substitute to clear the deficit. Feyenoord fell behind after more than half an hour thanks to a goal from Nicolo Zaniolo.
Aluminium
Immediately after the break there was a lot of pressure on the Roman goal from Rotterdam, but the post, together with goalkeeper Rui Patricio, saved the Italians. Feyenoord did not come any closer, even after Linssen was brought in as an extra attacker. Despite a great chance in injury time.
Losing finalist
In the end it remained 1-0 and Feyenoord had to settle for a place as the losing finalist in the final of the Conference League.
Future
It is still unclear whether Bryan Linssen’s future will also be in De Kuip next season. The player from Neeritter is clearly in the spotlight and beckons to an adventure in Japan. Jorrit Hendrix, born in Panningen, is rented by Feyenoord from Spartak Moscow and that agreement runs until the summer of 2023.
