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.
