Lech Poznan secured a ticket for the next round with a narrow 0-1 victory over Feyenoord in Rotterdam. The hosts had nothing to fight for anymore after straight defeats and they even finished last in this group without a single point. The visitors from Poland opened the score when Djurdjevic scored with a header from a corner. They even had more chances in the first half but they never scored a decisive second goal. Feyenoord on the other hand pushed for the draw in the second half, but they missed the attacking strength and precision up front for the 1-1.

Feyenoord manager Verbeek formed an expected 4-5-1 formation and he had to make one change from the team that recorded the last hoem defeat against AZ Alkmaar in the Holland Eredivisie. Team captain Van Bronckhorst was out with a head injury and he was replaced at left back by youngster Wattamaleo, who made his European debut in this match. Tomasson, De Guzman, Vlaar, Hofland and De Cler were all out with long term injuries and they missed this match. The Polish side started in a more attacking 4-4-2 formation but defender Henriquez and midfielder Injac were out with injuries.

Feyenoord had nothing left to fight for after three defeats in this group but they weren't attacking like crazy with nothing to lose in the first half. Lech Poznan on the other hand had everything to win, as they needed the three points for a ticket for the next round. Both teams failed to create any big chances in the first part of the match, but Poznan broke the deadlock after 26 minutes in the match. Djurdjevic was at the end of a corner kick and his header ended up in the back of the net. The visitors were the better side on the pitch in the first half and they created some decent chances. Lewandowski missed a great chance and Peszko even missed in a one on one situation with goalkeeper Timmer. The second half was a bit better. Feyenoord showed attacking spirit and they even created some decent chances. Makaay reached Bruins after a great attack but the midfielder's shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Feyenoord manager Verbeek rested some players in the second half, but they were still the best team on the pitch. Bahia had some header chances, but they just missed the precision. Lech Poznan defended the 0-1 lead and they sealed the three points at the end of the day, which wasn't fully deserved.

Feyenoord had nothing left to win and this 0-1 defeat completed a streak of four defeats in a row in the UEFA Cup. The side just missed the quality in this group to advance and this last match against Lech Poznan wasn't far from great. The next match is away from home against PSV Eindhoven in the Holland Eredivisie, and this team will need to improve if they want to seal a result. Lech Poznan can be happy with the outcome of this match. They grabbed the ticket for the next round but they have to play better in the next round to survive that round.
