Feyenoord Rotterdam beat Como 3-2 in Rotterdam.

The UEFA Champions League league-phase match took place on 14 October 2026 at De Kuip, Rotterdam. Both sides entered the game eager to claim three points, and the encounter delivered a roller-coaster of attacks, bookings and a late drama-filled finish.

How it unfolded

The opening moments were dominated by Como, who took the lead in the 18th minute. Assane Diao slotted a left-footed finish from the right side of the six-yard box into the bottom left corner, assisted by Jacobo Ramón. Just two minutes later, Feyenoord responded. Gjivai Zechiël unleashed a right-footed strike from outside the box that flew into the top left corner, with Luciano Valente providing the assist to level the scores at 1-1.

The first half ended evenly balanced, but the second half saw the tempo rise. In the 50th minute, Gaoussou Diarra received a yellow card for a bad foul, momentarily halting Feyenoord’s momentum. The suspension was short-lived; two minutes later Anis Hadj Moussa restored Feyenoord’s lead. He fired a left-footed shot from the right side of the box into the bottom right corner, the move set up by Diarra’s earlier assist, making it 2-1.

Como’s discipline came under scrutiny as the game progressed. Ivan Smolcic was booked for a bad foul in the 57th minute, followed by Jacobo Ramón in the 69th and Lucas Da Cunha in the 74th, each receiving yellow cards for similar infringements.

The decisive moment arrived in the 81st minute when Robert Sánchez inadvertently turned a ball into his own net, extending Feyenoord’s advantage to 3-1. Feyenoord’s Givairo Read was cautioned for a bad foul in the 84th minute, adding to the tally of bookings.

Como, however, refused to surrender. In stoppage time, Tasos Douvikas (listed as Anastasios Douvikas) struck a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom right corner, reducing the deficit to 3-2 in the 90+3 minute. The final whistle confirmed Feyenoord’s narrow victory.
