Feyenoord Rotterdam surprisingly defeated FC Bayern Munich 3-0 on matchday seven of the UEFA Champions League preliminary round. The Dutch used their chances efficiently, while the Munich team couldn’t get past goalkeeper Bijlow despite numerous opportunities.
Feyenoord dominated from the start
Coach’s team Kompany took control of the game early on while the hosts waited for a counterattack. The Dutch took the lead in the 21st minute when a long pass from Smal found its way to Gimenez, who beat Kim and shot the ball into the right corner.
Bayern misses chances
Bayern had several opportunities but missed the final breakthrough. Kane’s biggest chance came in the 42nd minute when he couldn’t get past goalkeeper Bijlow from six meters. In injury time of the first half, Stengs was unlucky when he almost put the ball into his own goal from a corner from Kimmich, but his keeper just steered the ball over the crossbar.
Feyenoord increased before the break
Feyenoord scored their second goal in the ninth minute of added time. Guerreiro, who came on as a substitute for the injured Davies, brought down Stengs in the penalty area. Gimenez safely converted the penalty into the top left corner and increased the lead to 2-0 at halftime.
Munich offensive remains unsuccessful
FC Bayern continued to be active in the second half, but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Bijlow. He parried an attempt by Kane from a tight angle in the 54th minute and a header by Musiala from close range in the 60th minute. Despite further chances, including a header from Sané in the 70th minute that went past the empty goal, the Munich team failed to score.
-Feyenoord punished Munich’s lack of opportunity once again in the 89th minute. Joker Ueda, sent in by Milambo, scored to make it 3-0 against Neuer. In the final minutes, substitute keeper Ulreich was shown a red card because he used the wrong tone with the referee.
In the table, Bayern Munich slipped to 15th place and is therefore under pressure on the eighth matchday of the Champions League against Slovan Bratislava.
