Netherlands midfielder Mats Wieffer gave Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord a slender lead to take to Rome with a sumptuous volley nine minutes after the break at Rotterdam’s De Kuip stadium. The 23-year-old’s third goal of the season was just enough for the Dutch outfit to see off Roma in a rematch of last season’s Conference League final which was won by the Italians.
Wieffer was almost the villain of the piece after being penalised for handball and giving Roma a penalty just before the break which Lorenzo Pellegrini smashed off the post.
