Oussama Targhalline Stands Out in First Start for Feyenoord
Rabat – Oussama Targhalline made a strong impression in his first start for Feyenoord, delivering a commanding performance in midfield.
The Moroccan international, who joined the club from Le Havre for €450,000 in the winter transfer window, played the full 90 minutes against NEC Nijmegen and emerged as the best player on the pitch.
His composure, defensive work, and ability to control possession earned him the Man of the Match award.
Targhalline won 12 duels, made four successful tackles, recovered eight balls, and completed all his dribbles.
His influence in midfield allowed Feyenoord to dictate play, though the team ultimately settled for a 0-0 draw.
After a strong 45-minute display against Almere City that saw him named in the Eredivisie Team of the Week, Targhalline proved he could sustain that level over a full match.
His sharp decision-making and physical presence gave Feyenoord stability, reinforcing why the club saw him as a key addition.
This performance could mark the start of a bigger role for the young midfielder.
If he continues on this trajectory, a call-up to the Moroccan national team may not be far off.
For Feyenoord, Targhalline's emergence adds depth to the squad and provides a promising option in midfield for the remainder of the season. Tags: FeyenoordFootballOussama Targhalline
