Feyenoord Rotterdam’s home victory over FC Bayern München in the UEFA Champions League group stage has sent shockwaves through the competition. The Dutch team dominated the match from the start, with Bayern struggling to create clear-cut chances.
The opening goal came in the 21st minute, as a long ball from Smal found Gimenez, who outpaced Kim and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner.
Bayern had their opportunities, but failed to capitalize on them. The best chance came in the 42nd minute, when Kane’s shot from six yards out was saved by Bijlow.
In the 90th minute, a Stengs shot from a Kimmich free kick was deflected by the Feyenoord goalkeeper, but the rebound was cleared. Instead, Feyenoord scored a second goal in the 90th minute, as Gimenez converted a penalty awarded for a foul on Stengs by Guerreiro.
The scoreline at halftime was a surprising 2-0 in favor of Feyenoord, with Bayern struggling to find their rhythm.
In the second half, Bayern pushed for a comeback, but Bijlow was equal to the task, making a series of impressive saves. The Dutch goalkeeper denied Kane in the 54th minute and then Musiala in the 60th minute.
Despite their efforts, Bayern failed to capitalize on their chances, and Feyenoord sealed the win with a third goal in the 89th minute, as Ueda, a late substitute, beat Neuer to the ball.
The loss has dropped Bayern to 15th in the group table, and they will need to regroup for their next match against Slovan Bratislava.
