It was a better defensive display by Feyenoord at the Etihad stadium. The defensive pairing of van Beek and Tapia had a relatively easy first half but were made to work in the second half. They had an impressive game with a total of 11 clearances and 3 tackles between them.

Feyenoord had men behind the ball all the time and Manchester City struggled to create any kind of opportunity in the first 30 minutes. They were better organized and reduced Manchester City to only half-chances in the first 45 minutes.

Offensively, Feyenoord had a couple of good chances in the game to open their account. Larsson struck wide of the far post in the 36th minute and they almost took the lead when Berghuis' shot was parried over the upright by Ederson.
