Inter Milan beat Feyenoord 3-0 at De Kuip in Rotterdam on November 3, 2026, with Yann Bisseck, Francesco Pio Esposito and Piotr Zielinski scoring in a Champions League league-phase match.
Victory on the road against a Dutch side in its own stadium underlined Inter’s recovery in Europe, coming three days after a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan, according to match reports.
Bisseck opened the scoring in the eighth minute, curling a left-footed finish into the far corner after Djed Spence played him in, Football Italia reported.
Esposito doubled the lead in the 34th minute, heading in from close range after Spence’s cross was deflected, Reuters reported.
Zielinski settled the match nine minutes after half-time, scoring with a left-footed strike from distance in the 54th minute, with Nicolò Barella credited with the assist in match data.
Esposito had a second goal ruled out for offside in the 66th minute, so the score stayed 3-0, according to match reports.
| Minute | Scorer | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Yann Bisseck | Feyenoord 0-1 Inter |
| 34 | Francesco Pio Esposito | Feyenoord 0-2 Inter |
| 54 | Piotr Zielinski | Feyenoord 0-3 Inter |
Spence was Inter’s chief creator on the night, setting up both first-half goals, while Bisseck’s opener was his first Champions League goal, according to match reports.
Feyenoord’s first effort of note did not arrive until after half an hour, when Anis Hadj Moussa saw a shot blocked, and the home side barely threatened after falling behind, match reports said.
Chivu rang the changes once the game was effectively over as a contest, bringing off striker Marcus Thuram, according to match reports.
Thuram started alongside Esposito up front for Inter, with Lautaro Martínez absent through injury, according to match reports.
Earlier on Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain beat Villarreal 6-0 and Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0 in other Champions League league-phase matches, according to UEFA’s results list.
Inter’s win was confirmed at full-time at De Kuip on November 3, with the three goals standing as the match’s only scoring; no further result from the night changes this match, and Inter’s next league-phase fixture will be confirmed in UEFA’s schedule.
