Feyenoord-Inter, VAR review: penalty denied and goal ruled out

Inter’s 3-0 victory over Feyenoord, recorded on 3 November 2026 at Stadion Feijenoord in Rotterdam in the Champions League, did not end every debate. The match review returned to two disputed incidents: a possible penalty that was not awarded to the Nerazzurri and a goal later cancelled following a VAR intervention.

The decisions sparked discussion about the refereeing performance in a match otherwise controlled by Cristian Chivu’s side, who won by three goals without conceding. After the final whistle, the evening took an unusual turn: some fireworks were set off on the pitch, while others could also be seen on the stadium roof. Technology therefore influenced the story of the game, although it did not alter Inter’s victory.

For Inter, the result remains the key element of their European campaign and follows the 2-0 win over Venezia on 28 October and the 3-1 derby defeat against Milan on 31 October. The next fixture will be in Serie A: Como 1907 will visit San Siro on Sunday 8 November at 18:00.
