Feyenoord lost 3-0 at home to Internazionale in the Champions League. The Italian side led 2-0 at half-time and added a third goal after the break. Feyenoord, playing Thijs Kraaijeveld in place of the injured Jeremiah St. Juste, did not score and has three points after four matches. Captain Luciano Valente and coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said Internazionale had been the stronger and more experienced side. The match was briefly interrupted in the second half after fireworks fired from outside De Kuip landed on the pitch near Inter goalkeeper Josep Martínez. Police arrested two people in connection with the incident. A single report said that a flare also damaged the stadium roof.
