Watch: Feyenoord keeper’s dirty trick denies potential goal, frustrates rival, who retaliates with angry gesture

The match between Feyenoord and FC Twente witnessed an epic moment, involving Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, who showed great smartness to rescue himself from an unwanted situation. The incident took place late in first half, when his side were leading 1-0 in the contest as he rushed outside the box and made a sliding tackle to send the ball out for a throw-in.

His tackle saw him beat Twente forward Virgil Misidjan, sending the ball out of play. But with the goalkeeper nowhere in sight of the goal, Misidjan tried to capitalise on the situation as he decided to take a quick throw-in.

However, Biljow foiled Misidjan’s plans as he quickly grabbed another ball present at the sideline and threw it on to the pitch.

Biljow’s quick thinking and out-of-box antics left Misidjan frustrated, who then threw the ball in anger towards the goalkeeper.
