Cesc Fabregas accepted responsibility after Como’s 3-2 loss to Feyenoord, saying the team must learn to handle away matches and a crowded schedule. The coach praised the players’ late response, confirmed Assane Diao would be assessed after an early injury exit and called the Champions League a tougher test than the World Cup.
Como surrendered an early lead and lost their first ever Champions League match, going down 3-2 to Feyenoord in Rotterdam on matchday two. Assane Diao scored and then limped off injured, Gjivai Zechiel equalised, and Anis Hadj Moussa starred before a late Robert Sanchez own goal and a stoppage-time Tasos Douvikas reply made it a nervy finish.
Tijjani Reijnders struck in the 89th minute to complete the Netherlands’ comeback from 2-0 down and earn a 2-2 Nations League draw in Greece. The hosts had led through Fotis Ioannidis and Giorgos Masouras, but Virgil van Dijk’s header and sustained Dutch pressure salvaged a point.
