context_page_description: Ruben Schaken is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a right winger. He has represented the Netherlands national team on seven occasions between 2012 and 2013, scoring two goals in the process.
context_section_description: Schaken was signed by Feyenoord in March 2010, and he joined the squad on 1 July 2010. The winger made his debut for the club, in the Eredivisie, on 15 August 2010 in a 3–2 defeat to Excelsior. His debut season with Feyenoord was riddled with injuries, preventing him from making a breakthrough into the first eleven.
  Prior to the 2011-12 season, Schaken changed his squad number from 7 to 27. He had to wait over a year to score his first goal for the club, opening the scoring in a 4–0 defeat of De Graafschap on 17 September 2011. On 4 December 2011, Schaken scored Feyenoord's second, after Sekou Cissé opened the scoring, in a 2–0 defeat of PSV Eindhoven at De Kuip. Schaken scored goals in four of the last five games of the Eredivisie campaign, against De Graafschap, NAC Breda, Den Haag and Heracles respectively, as Feyenoord secured runners-up spot and entry into the Champions League.
  In the third qualifying round for entrance into the group stages of the Champions League, Schaken opened the scoring for Feyenoord at Dynamo Kyiv in the first leg on 31 July 2012; Feyenoord eventually fell 2–1 in the game and 3–1 on aggregate after a 0–1 loss in the Netherlands. Schaken scored his first goal of the Eredivisie campaign on the opening matchday on 18 August, netting a late equalizer against Heerenveen, who had taken the lead from the penalty spot following a red card from Joris Mathijsen. On 25 November, Schaken scored a late goal for Feyenoord, as the Rotterdam club secured a 2–0 away victory at AZ Alkmaar.
  On 24 February 2013, Schaken equalized for Feyenoord after Jeremain Lens had put PSV in front; and a 68th-minute strike from Graziano Pellè completed the comeback, securing a 2–1 victory for the Rotterdam-based club. He scored Feyenoord's fifth goal against Heracles on 28 April, receiving the ball from John Goossens and slotting it home past back-up 'keeper Brian van Loo; Feyenoord would eventually win the game 6–0.
  After a bye in the first round, Feyenoord started the 2013–14 KNVB Cup on 26 September 2013, at home against FC Dordrecht in the second round. They won the game 3–0; Graziano Pellè scored first as Schaken and Samuel Armenteros added a goal each to the scoreline in the second half. In the first Eredivisie game following the winter break, Schaken scored two goals in a 5–2 away win against FC Utrecht 19 January 2014.
  On 28 August 2014, Schaken scored Feyenoord's second goal as the Dutch side defeated FC Zorya Luhansk 4–3 in the second-leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off round and won 5–4 on aggregate to advance to the group stage.
  On 5 January 2015, Schaken dissolved his contract with Feyenoord after having lost prospect with the club.
