Japanese striker shakes up Dutch football

On the morning of October 20, Ayase Ueda continued his destructive form in the Netherlands when he scored a hat-trick to help Feyenoord crush Heracles Almelo 4-0 and make history in the Eredivisie tournament.

Ayase Ueda scored his 5,000th goal for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie.

This was the first hat-trick by a Japanese player in the history of the tournament, and his second goal of the match was also Feyenoord's 5,000th goal in the Eredivisie. Ueda was given a 9.6 rating by Sofa Score for this match.

The match at the Erve Asito was a one-sided affair. In the first 45 minutes, Feyenoord decided the outcome with four goals - three from Ueda and one from Anis Hadj Moussa.

With his brilliant performance, Ueda made his name among the special players of Feyenoord in important milestones. Henk Schouten scored the first goal, Cor van der Gijp - the greatest scorer in the history of the club, scored his 100th goal, Coen Moulijn scored his 500th goal, and Sekou Cisse scored his 4,000th goal in 2011.

Ueda now has 11 goals after just nine games, far ahead of any other player in the Eredivisie (six more than the second-placed player). Across Europe, the Japanese striker is on par with Harry Kane (12 goals) and Erling Haaland (11 goals) in the group of players to reach the 10-goal mark the earliest this season.

"Unbelievable from Ueda", the Dutch press exclaimed when Feyenoord's number 9 showed an impressive scoring form, combining precision, speed and killer instinct. Last season, Ueda scored only 9 goals in all competitions.

In 2023, Ueda joined Feyenoord for a fee of 8 million euros. After more than two years playing for the Dutch club, the Japanese player gradually found a solid foothold and became a mainstay of the team.
