Feyenoord have dropped points in the first match of their Eredivisie season. The reigning champions were forced to play a large part of the match against Fortuna Sittard with ten men after a red card for the returning Bart Nieuwkoop and could not score in de Kuip: 0-0. Feyenoord lost 1-0 over a week ago at home against PSV in de Johan Cruijff schaal.
