Victory was more than due to Feyenoord. Not only because the team put in an excellent performance in a swirling Estádio da Luz, but also because two Rotterdam goals were disallowed. VAR saw a foul precede Ayase Ueda's second goal, while in the second half Gernot Trauner was found to be narrowly offside.

With the goals that did count, Feyenoord rewarded themselves for a brave and strong performance against the Portuguese superpower. Ueda and Antoni Milambo provided a comfortable 0-2 lead before half-time, one that remained until midway through the second half. Then, out of nowhere, the home side scored the tying goal and it became clear that a hot final phase would begin.

Feyenoord fought for every metre and a second Milambo goal in injury time sealed the win. The second consecutive away win on the highest European stage was celebrated passionately by the ecstatic crowd. Thus, more than 60 years after the historic boat trip, the legion experienced a legendary night in Lisbon.
