AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Feyenoord consolidated third place in the Dutch league in a 2-2 draw at Willem II Tilburg on Sunday to ensure they moved closer to securing an automatic berth into next season’s Europa League.
Elvis Manu opened the scoring for Feyenoord just before the half-hour mark but the lead lasted just seven minutes before Freek Heerkens equalised. Willem II went ahead through Bruno Andrade but that lead also did last long before Colin Kazim-Richards equalised to ensure Feyenoord moved to 58 points, seven more than fourth placed Vitesse Arnhem.
