Feyenoord, which returned to the path of victories in the group that it missed in the last round with a 3-2 loss to its Spanish host Atletico Madrid, rose to 6 points in the lead, two points ahead of third-placed Lazio.

Mexican Santiago Jimenez opened the scoring for Feyenoord in the 31st minute, before his teammate Ramez Zerrougui added the second goal in the second minute of stoppage time for the first half.

In the second half, Jimenez scored again, scoring Feyenoord’s third goal and his second personal goal in the 74th minute, while Pedro scored Lazio’s only goal in the 83rd minute from a penalty kick.
