Feyenoord beat FC Twente 2-1 in the Dutch Cup semifinals Wednesday,
ending former England coach Steve McClaren's hopes for a double.
Twente, which is currently leading the Eredivisie standings
by four points with six more rounds to go, took the lead in the
42nd when Luuk de Jong played in Costa Rica forward Byran Ruiz.
Feyenoord captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst equalized eight
minutes after the break on a pass from veteran striker Roy Makaay.
Makaay came in as a second-half substitute and secured the
win with a goal in the 83rd after exchanging passes with Leroy Fer.
Feyenoord will play the winner of Thursday's meeting between
Ajax and lower league side Go Ahead Eagles.
