Not even the most optimistic Feyenoord fan expected such a strong start to the game. Pushed forward by their passionate supporters, the home team capitalized on Milan’s sluggish start and immediately pressed forward in the opening minutes.
The strategy worked perfectly, as the goal came just three minutes in. Igor Paixão received the ball on the left, feinted past his marker, cut inside, and struck a weak shot from outside the box—but goalkeeper Maignan failed to stop it.
The early lead fired up Feyenoord’s players and the crowd at the Feyenoord Stadium. Under the guidance of newly appointed coach Pascal Bosschaart, the Dutch side showed no fear. Taking advantage of Milan’s poor performance, with the Italian team struggling to create chances, Feyenoord had the best opportunities and could have secured an even greater advantage for the second leg.
The two teams will meet again next Tuesday, the 18th, at San Siro. Feyenoord will advance to the round of 16 with a draw. If Milan wins by a one-goal margin, the tie will go to extra time and potentially penalties. Stay ahead of the curve with BB Score.
