Feyenoord's victory marked a significant turnaround from their previous match, where they lost 2-1 in Belgium. Despite being reduced to ten men early in the first half, the team managed to limit the damage and set themselves up for a strong comeback.
In the return leg, Feyenoord made a dream start, scoring two goals within the first ten minutes. Romée van de Lavoir and Sterre Kroezen were on target, before Marie Minnaert brought Anderlecht back into the game. However, a missed penalty by Tori Della Peruta ultimately gave Feyenoord the margin they needed to avoid extra time.
Feyenoord now face one final qualifying round to reach the main tournament, where 16 teams will directly enter the knockout phase. The draw for their next opponent will take place on Friday, 4 September.
