The Mexican Santiago Gimenez He made his debut in the Champions League with two goals to guide Feyenoord to victory against Lazio, in a duel where the score ended 3-1 corresponding to the third day of group E.
Giménez came out determined to demonstrate his value in the top continental club tournament and in the 25th minute he scored his first score, but it would be invalidated for being in an advanced position due to the simple positioning of his shoulder.
However, it only took six minutes for the Feyenoord member to become a Champions League scorer with a left-footed shot placed at the right post of the rival goalkeeper thanks to the work of Mats Wieffer who carried the ball from the center of the field to send the ball to the Mexican who opened the scoring with a half-turn shot.
The Mexican's eleventh extended the score at the end of the first half with a right-footed score by Zerrouki to make the score 2-0.
The Dutch league team continued the attack and quickly in the 52nd minute Giménez gave a new warning when he sent a shot just above Provedel's hut, again with a left-footed shot.
That warm-up helped him make it 3-0 and Giménez's second score in the 74th minute, when Quinten Timber made a shot that the goalkeeper did not control with his hands, leaving the ball at the mercy of the Mexican who showed no mercy.
Giménez was removed from the field of play for a substitution shortly after his second goal, when the job was already done.
Lazio scored their only goal courtesy of Pedro in the 83rd minute.
