The Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow left FC Twente fuming after his quick thinking avoided a potential goal threat.

Feyenoord were winning 1-0 when Bijlow raced out of his area to make a tackle. His pace saw him beat Twente’s Virgil Misidjan to the ball at the expense of a throw, but with Bijlow stranded on the sidelines the forward sensed an opportunity for a quick goal.
Bijlow’s quick thinking scuppered that idea however, as the Feyenoord keeper grabbed a stray ball and threw it onto the pitch to stop play, much to Misidjan’s chagrin. The Twente winger threw the ball at the keeper in anger, and Bijlow received a yellow card for his gamesmanship.

That ball would have went straight back at him!
No idea how they kept so calm…
Yo the ball boy tossed a ball mad quick 😂.
You can tell who was the home side.
VIVA FEYENOORD! 🔴⚪ROTTERDAM.2023
The GK thought of doing this for a long time now.. finally done it ! 😂
love this
Future man utd coach😂😂😂
should've been a red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity LOL 🤣
If you looked up "Shithousery" in the dictionary…
terrible throw in
Keeper should've been given a red, complete dirt tactic, clever, but that's straight dirt. No place for unsportsmanlike behavior.
That's genius on a whole other level
😂😂😂😂Brilliant
maybe he has seen this somewhere else or thought of it before. if this was an idea he got at that second, it was genius!
Jokes on the Feyenoord player, he could've continue playing the ball with the gk out but let emotion got in the way
Big brain keeper. Other guy should have caught a booking too would have really been the cherry on top.
That's a red
That's brilliant thinking
but he is smart. Twente were down 1-0 and when any player sees the goalkeeper out of their net, they see a huge opportunity to score but when they don't they get angry. Pretty smart, Bijlow.
So why did the goalkeeper was punished with the card? Because of not throwing the ball from overhead throw?
Ball went out, throw in to other side. Winger could've quickly thrown it back in to restart play and score, but the keeper threw another ball on the pitch and hence play could not be restarted, giving time for him to go back to his post.
Should’ve pretended to hand it to the Twente player but just enough out of reach to miss.
“I swear ref, I wasn’t trying to hold up the play. I was handing him the ball.”
Haha , how the prayer threw the ball in his fury ,makes my day haha
Jose Mourinho:" Bro you wanna play for AS Roma?" 🤣
he should have given that ball to the player directly, he couldnt have been able to control both balls and let 1 slips out, he could have avoided the yellow like this
why is no one talking about the tackle?😘
Same with DF need to take down FW if they passed him… necessary foul… approved 👍
The only thing missing was him doing a couple barrel rolls on the grass like he just got hit by a missile, especially since it actually missed.
Pure presence of mind…
