Ueda, Ogawa net as Feyenoord, NEC win Dutch league openers
ROTTERDAM (Kyodo) -- Japan forwards Ayase Ueda and Koki Ogawa both scored on their Dutch Eredivisie season openers on Saturday as Feyenoord and NEC Nijmegen got off to winning starts. Ueda got Feyenoord's second goal in the 55th minute at De Kuip, reacting to a loose ball and sending a low half-volley into the corner to complete the scoring in a 2-0 home win over NAC Breda. "I was prepared to react wherever the ball dropped. I leaned my body instinctively and got a clean strike," said Ueda, who enjoyed playing with center-back and fellow Japan international Tsuyoshi Watanabe after he joined the club this summer. "We've been able to talk about various things during the match, too. It's big for the club and also makes it easier for me to play." Having been hampered by injuries during his first two seasons at Feyenoord, Ueda hopes he can nail down his spot at Robin van Persie's side ahead of the World Cup next summer in Canada, Mexico and the United States. "I want to keep playing injury-free and bring positive results for the team," he said. Ogawa, vying for the regular forward position with Ueda for the Samurai Blue, hit a fine brace as NEC romped past Excelsior 5-0 also at home. He opened the season's account with a 52nd-minute overhead kick to give his side a 2-0 lead before powering a header home seven minutes later for their third.

Football: Ueda nets 6th goal of season as Feyenoord hammer Zwolle
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Kyodo) -- Japan forward Ayase Ueda scored his sixth goal of the season in the Dutch Eredivisie on Friday as Feyenoord eased past Zwolle 4-0 at home. Ueda netted the 14th-minute opener at De Kuip, lifting his left-footed shot past Zwolle keeper Jasper Schendelaar after he was played through by Jakub Moder. "I had the keeper in my peripheral vision while on the run and managed to shoot just as I imagined," Ueda said. A mistake by the keeper then allowed Antoni Milambo to double the lead in the 22nd minute. Igor Paixao rolled home three minutes later and curled in his second with 11 minutes to go to complete the scoring. "There are loads of things expected of me apart from scoring goals," said Ueda, who made his presence felt throughout the match. "I've been plugging away in achieving each of those and things are finally starting to take shape." The sixth straight win placed Robin van Persie's side third on the table, 11 points behind leaders Ajax, as they look to secure qualification for next season's Champions League.
