Match Analysis

First-Half Performance
The visitors wasted little time in making their mark, with Djed Spence providing the assist for Yann Bisseck to open the scoring in the eighth minute. Bisseck, typically a centre-back, displayed composure and skill as he turned and curled his finish into the bottom corner. Inter maintained their attacking intent, testing Tjark Ernst with efforts from both Federico Dimarco and Marcus Thuram.
The pressure paid dividends just after the half-hour, as Spence’s shot deflected and looped towards Francesco Pio Esposito. Esposito made no mistake, heading the ball off the underside of the crossbar to double Inter’s advantage. Feyenoord’s best opportunity before the interval fell to Anis Hadj Moussa, but Josep Martinez stood firm to deny him from close range.
Second Half and Key Moments
Inter continued to dominate proceedings after the break, sealing the result in the 54th minute when Piotr Zielinski unleashed a precision strike from the edge of the penalty area, the ball ricocheting off the post on its way in. Esposito found the net once again after the hour mark by tapping in Dimarco’s cross, though the flag was raised for offside and the effort was disallowed.
Feyenoord, trailing by three, battled on but found little success. Luciano Valente’s long-range effort was comfortably claimed by Martinez, and opportunities remained scarce for the hosts. With Inter content to see out the contest, the Dutch side created few clear chances as they suffered their first home loss of the season.

Conclusion
Inter’s 3-0 triumph at De Kuip served as an ideal response to their recent derby disappointment, registering just their second Champions League away win in five attempts (L3). Feyenoord, meanwhile, faced their first home defeat of the campaign, struggling to make an impact against a disciplined Italian side.
