Young footballer Antonie Milambo twice pierced the goal of the Portuguese team Benfica, leading the Dutch club Feyenoord to a surprising 3-1 away victory in the Champions League group stage. Benfica came onto the field after six consecutive wins in all competitions, however, despite their desperate attempts towards the end of the match, they couldn't return to the game, while Feyenoord demonstrated a confident style and deserved the victory.

Ayase Ueda opened the scoring in favor of the Dutch, and then Milambo added to the guests' advantage before halftime. The hosts were able to pull back in the 66th minute thanks to Kerem Akturkoglu, however, Milambo scored again during stoppage time to ensure three points for himself.

For Feyenoord, this was their second away victory in the group stage, following their win against the Spanish club Girona three weeks ago. At that time, Benfica suffered their first defeat of the season, after a resounding 4-0 victory over the Madrid club Atletico in the upcoming match of the group stage.
