Feyenoord Stun AC Milan with Early Goal in Champions League Playoff

A goalkeeping error by Mike Maignan and a standout performance by Igor Paixão secure Feyenoord a 1-0 first-leg victory under interim coach Pascal Bosschaart.

Feyenoord claimed a 1-0 win over AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League knockout playoff, just two days after firing coach Brian Priske.
Brazilian winger Igor Paixão scored the decisive goal in the third minute, capitalizing on a rare mistake by Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan in wet conditions.
Paixão was a constant threat throughout the match, hitting the crossbar and nearly scoring from the halfway line, while also troubling Milan's defense with his skill and pace.
Interim coach Pascal Bosschaart, promoted from Feyenoord's under-21 team, credited the team’s effort and tactical execution for the victory in a raucous De Kuip stadium.
AC Milan struggled to find cohesion despite their January signings, with former Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez failing to make an impact in his return to Rotterdam.
