Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The narrative strongly favors Feyenoord. The headline (though not provided in the text) is likely to emphasize Feyenoord's victory. The detailed, positive description of Feyenoord's performance and players (especially Paixão) contrasts with the more concise reporting on other matches. This framing potentially biases the reader towards viewing Feyenoord's performance as more important or impactful than others.
Language Bias

Words like "knappe overwinning" ("great victory"), "plaag" ("pest"), and "fantastisch" ("fantastic") express strong positive sentiment towards Feyenoord. While celebratory language is expected in sports reporting, this exuberance might subtly skew the reader's perception. Neutral alternatives could include more objective descriptions of the game's events. For instance, instead of "Paixão was a pest for Milan's defense," it could say "Paixão frequently challenged Milan's defense and created several scoring opportunities.
