Relegation-threatened NAC Breda have succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Feyenoord in this afternoon's Eredivisie clash at the Rat Verlegh Stadion.
The first chance of the game came courtesy of Colin Kazim-Richards, who bore down on goal and unleashed a shot that was saved by Jelle ten Rouvelaar.
Just before the half-hour mark, Erik Falkenburg fired into the Feyenoord net, but the referee disallowed the goal for offside.
Lex Immers had a great chance for the visitors moments later when he latched onto Karim El Ahmadi's pass before firing just wide.
It mattered little because former Blackburn Rovers winger Kazim-Richards shook off his marker before slotting past the Breda goalkeeper for his side's opener just a few minutes later.
The hosts failed to pose much of threat against their opponents, save for a chance in the 77th minute when Kenneth Vermeer had to be at his best to save a Stipe Perica header.
Ultimately, Fred Rutten's charges were able to see the game out and secure all three points to remain in the hunt for a European slot.
