ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — A rare howler from standout goalkeeper Mike Maignan gifted Feyenoord a quick lead against AC Milan in their Champions League playoff. It proved the only goal in a 1-0 defeat. With heavy rain falling in the port city of Rotterdam he was beaten by Brazilian forward Igor Paixão's shot from the left side of the penalty area in the third minute. The greasy surface may have played a factor but Maignan seemed to misjudge the angled shot, which bounced up off his hands and flew in at the near post. Pascal Bosschaart got the ideal start as interim coach after taking charge just two days before the game.
