Feyenoord 3-2 Como: Hadj Moussa denies Fabregas' men in Champions League

Anis Hadj Moussa starred for Feyenoord as they defeated Como 3-2 in the Champions League.

After Gjivai Zechiel quickly cancelled out Assane Diao's opener in the first half at Stadion Feijenoord, Hadj Moussa put his side ahead early in the second half before playing a key role in Robert Sanchez's own goal late on.

Como were ahead after just 18 minutes through Diao, who shrugged off a challenge from Javi Lopez after getting on the end of a long ball from Jacobo Ramon before curling past Tjark Ernst.

However, Feyenoord were level less than three minutes later. Luciano Valente fired a pass into Zechiel, who received on the swivel before thundering in a strike from the edge of the box.

Sanchez was on hand to deny Lopez's close-range header on the stroke of half-time, but the Como goalkeeper could not keep out Hadj Moussa seven minutes after the restart as the winger caught the Spaniard out at his near post.

Cesc Fabregas turned to his bench and nearly found an equaliser through Tasos Douvikas, who headed over while completely unmarked, while another substitute in Lucas Da Cunha fired straight at Ernst.

Hadj Moussa saw an effort tipped onto the post by Sanchez in the 80th minute, but just 69 seconds later, the Feyenoord man saw his shot deflected onto the post by Ramon, and the ball then ricocheted in off Sanchez.

Douvikas did force a nervy final minute after Feyenoord failed to clear a long ball from Ramon, allowing the Greek striker to score at the near post, but the Dutch side held on for the victory.

Feyenoord back on track in Europe

Feyenoord were thrashed 5-1 by Barcelona in their league phase opener this season, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side got into the win column with a clinical display against Como, which was inspired by Hadj Moussa.

The 24-year-old recorded more shots than any other player (five), while he completed the most dribbles of any Feyenoord player (two) and recorded the most touches in the opposition box (10).

His heroics helped Feyenoord come from behind to win a home game in the Champions League for just the second time, after their 2-1 victory over Napoli in December 2017, with manager Van Bronckhorst also in charge on that occasion.

Feyenoord have now scored 31 goals in their first 10 matches of a season across all competitions for the first time since 1995-96 (also 31), while Como have lost their second match this season.

Fabregas' team won the expected goals (xG) battle 1.24 to 0.54 despite recording fewer shots (11 to 13), but they were left too open at the back, while Diao's injury in the first half also made a noticeable impact.
