Feyenoord have dropped from the top of their UEFA Champions League group to third after losing 1-0 against Lazio in Rome on Tuesday. Ciro Immobile’s first-half goal was enough to separate the two sides. Arne Slot started the match with Igor Paixao in the left-wing position. The Brazilian was preferred to Luka Ivanusec. They were boosted by Mats Wieffer returning to the side. The Oranje international has recovered from the flu.
Feyenoord has stopped the gap to league leaders PSV from growing. The reigning champions recovered from the loss against FC Twente last weekend against RKC Waalwijk: 1-2. Feyenoord, who face AZ next week, stay 7 points behind PSV with the victory. It did not go smoothly for Feyenoord, who played without the sick Mats Wieffer. Calvin Stengs dropped a line back and played in the midfield with Ramiz Zerrouki and Quinten Timber. Luka Ivanusec took Stengs place in the forward line.
