Hadj Moussa sinks Como as Feyenoord claim first CL group win

Feyenoord secured their first Champions League group win against Italian side Como 1907 in a thrilling five-goal match. Como took the early lead when Assane Diao won a physical challenge on the left and struck the ball past Tjark Ernst. Within two minutes, Feyenoord equalized as Gjivai Zechiël scored from a tight angle. Diao suffered a setback a few minutes later, but Feyenoord grew in confidence with Givairo Read and Lopez making fingertip saves just before halftime.

Feyenoord took the lead in the second half when Anis Haji Moussa found the bottom corner. Ten minutes from the end, a deflected shot from Moussa made it 3-1. Tasos Douvikas's injury-time strike kept Como in the game, but Feyenoord held on to win. Zechiël praised Moussa's decisive role in the second-half goals. Feyenoord's win moves them to 23rd place in the league table, with their next match against Real Betis on October 21.
