Unfortunately for Ekramy, the homeside outplayed Feyenoord and scored three goals in the Egyptian's net. Sherif did well despite the three goals he conceded but he could do better with the first goal.

Feyenoord lost heavily yet convincingly against on-form FC Twente side by three goals to nil. Ekramy was the man between the sticks for Feyenoord in that match after the injury of their main goalkeeper Timmer. The Egyptian prevented his side from the worst as he made some crucial saves. However, Ekramy could do better in the first goal.

The game continued as a one way traffic match as Twente kept their pressure on Feyenoord defense. At this stage, Ekramy shone in the crosses as he was dominant in the air and showed good anticipation in dealing with Twente's dangerous crosses.

In the 2nd half, the homeside added two more goals through Kennedy Bakircioglu who slotted the ball home from close range after beating his man in the air in the 58th minute. The ball was difficult for Ekramy this time as it came from close range and needed a special reflex move to prevent the goal.


After the 2nd goal, Ekramy made a few good saves and the bar also denied Twente from scoring the 3rd. However, Bakircioglu continued to shine as he dribbled past a Feyenoord defender brilliantly and shot the ball to beat Ekramy who simply had no chance.
