Feyenoord goalkeeper thinks outside the box to leave FC Twente incensed

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.

If there ever a goalkeeper for Jose Mourinho’s heart, its this guy.

[makingmiracleshappen]

The goalkeeper even had the nerve to say to the ref "did u see that, he threw the ball at me" 🤣🤣🤣

[No_Cho]

Keeper has got some real tactical brains in there.

*100 years of footballing evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of goalkeeping potential*

[cdiaz]

Hundred plus years of this sport, and some geniuses continue to reinvent things and surprise us.

[Astro-M]

The fact that he completely canceled the attackers chance, even if he got a yellow it’s still a W

[SiLoMixMaster]

Takes a lot of balls to do what the keeper did

[iirovaltonen]

What a tackle, truly a sweeper keeper.

[johnbyron]

I like how he just casually flung it onto the pitch like, "There, that should do the trick..."

[theastonvillaseal]

He didn't just think outside the box, he thought outside the whole pitch...
I see myself out

[blue]

That was the play of the season!😂
I love the way he has the audacity to go up to the ref to get the guy booked after he threw the ball at him 😂😂😂

[lenoir]

Look how his genius annoyed the opposition and how he shifted the blame to the opposition for his genius reaction. Just genius

[Balfour.]

No.10 throwing the ball at him in anger has me dead and buried 😂

[McPilch]

Brilliant initial tackle/clearance.
Brilliant quick thinking by the attacker to take advantage with a quick throw.
Brilliant move by the keeper to prevent it by getting a second ball on the pitch.
Brilliant reaction by the throw-in taker in chucking the ball at the keeper.
Brilliant "did you see that, ref??" by the keeper.
Brilliant entertainment from start to finish!

Bro was not only thinking but he himself was outside the box

[darkknightzE]

This is what u call street smart... It's like stepping on the ball after u conceded a free kick to stop a quick freekick from happening.

[greenery]

He didn’t even think twice 😂 just went straight for it, gotta love it

[ASIKGIDKW]

Nunez is better than Haaland, like if you agree
Thanks for the likes guys

[davidantony]

Keeper should've taken the quick throw-in and just acted like he thought it had come off the attacker.

I once heard Arsene Wenger say that football had probably gone as far as it could with regard to physical fitness and skill, and that the next boundary to push against would be neurological - swiftness of thought. Maybe this is what he meant.
