Feyenoord beat AZ 2-0 at De Kuip to move above the Alkmaar side into first place in the Eredivisie, with a one-point lead over AZ and PSV. Nacho Ferri opened the scoring in the 13th minute after a mistake by Wouter Goes, and Javi López scored from a corner in the 59th minute. AZ suffered its first league defeat of the season. AZ were awarded a penalty shortly before half-time after Mexx Meerdink went down following an incident with goalkeeper Tjark Ernst, but referee Danny Makkelie overturned the decision after a VAR review. Meerdink disputed the reversal, while AZ coach Leeroy Echteld declined to dwell on it after the match. Feyenoord coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said the win over a direct rival mattered more than taking first place.

Later episodes focused on club football, including Feyenoord’s European form, Ajax’s poor results and coaching situation, PSV’s performance in Europe, and the development of Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa. The podcast also discussed Clarence Seedorf’s appointment as coach of Brazilian club Corinthians, Lionel Messi’s international farewell, Dušan Tadić’s interview, and refereeing decisions in the Feyenoord–AZ match.
