7614 Feyenoord V1 starts competition with difficult win in Breda Feyenoord has started the new season with a win. In the Rat Verlegh Stadium, Jessica Torny's team had a very difficult time against newcomer NAC Breda, but Feyenoord eventually managed to win the match 1-3.

After just over half an hour of play, there was a liberating opening goal: brand new captain Celainy Obispo popped the ball in hard from a corner. Just before halftime, Feyenoord managed to double the lead. Kokona Iwasaki, who signed in Rotterdam this summer and made her debut in Breda, made it 0-2 in injury time of the first half.

7790 Champions League awaits Twente after convincing two-part match FC Twente Women may report to the main tournament of the Champions League this season. The Tukkers were much, much too strong for GKS Katowice over two matches. A week ago, coach Corina Dekker's team already won 0-4 against the Polish opponent.

Dekker and her team can report to the main phase of the Champions League.
Ajax winger Lotte Keukelaar is off to Real Madrid. I don't know how Dutch women's teams can compete in Europe if players leave after 1-2 years. By my rough count, there are only three starters left from last season's team (Spitse, Talhoek and van Eijk). Because they don't have enough money to give multiple year contracts, a number of the players left on free transfers. English teams have lots of money and many Dutch women end up there. I guess this is the reality and it's pretty much the same on the men's side as well.
