Shaqueel van Persie Shines Despite Feyenoord's Late Derby Defeat

Shaqueel van Persie scored his first senior goals as Feyenoord, managed by his father Robin, faced a heartbreaking late defeat against Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie.

Feyenoord found themselves trailing 2-0 after goals from Joshua Kitolano and Mitchell van Bergen. In response, Robin van Persie brought on his 19-year-old son in the 63rd minute.

Shortly after his introduction, Hwang In-beom narrowed the gap, scoring just one minute later. However, Shunsuke Mito quickly restored Sparta's two-goal lead.

In a dramatic finish, Van Persie Jr. scored twice in the final four minutes, including a stunning overhead kick, leveling the match at 3-3.

Ultimately, Kitolano had the final say, netting his second goal in the third minute of added time to secure a 4-3 victory for Sparta.

Following the match, Feyenoord remains in second place in the league, now 16 points behind leaders PSV.
