Hwang In-beom also played in the midfield. In the 23rd minute of the first half, he entered the right side of the penalty box and crossed early, and Hantzko's shot that received it was blocked by Truvin. However, Ueda seemed to succeed in multi-goal as he finished the ball that bounced off again. However, the VAR reading pointed out Feyenoord's foul and was not recognized as a score.
Hwang contributed to his team's second score by playing well once again. Feyenoord's attack unfolded in the 32nd minute of the first half after Hwang In-beom took over the ball through pressure. Milambo, who received Timber's pass, attempted to shoot past Otamendi in the center of the box and shook the Benfica net as it was.
Benfica also fought back, but it was not done properly. Di Maria scored in the 40th minute of the first half, but it was not recognized as offside was pointed out. Feyenoord's 2-0 lead ended the first half.

Benfica threatened Feyenoord with a chase goal. In the 20th minute of the second half, Veste's shot was blocked by Belle Reuters, which Aktukoglu pushed back into the shot and cut the Feyenoord goal. Later, Benfica had a chance to equalize, but was blocked by a save. In the 28th minute of the second half, Abdouni's header seemed to be heading into the goal, but Belen Reuters blew himself and saved it.
Feyenoord added a run just before the end to break down Benfica. In the second half of extra time, Milambo received a pass from a point a little away from the box and attempted a mid-range shot. The powerful and accurate shot was inserted into the corner of the goal without the goalkeeper's time to fly. In the end, Feyenoord's 3-1 victory ended the game.

In an interview after the game, Hwang showed his confidence. 1908NL of the Netherlands said 'Hwang In-beom was once again one of the standouts of the game. He said, 'He is receiving the most attention this season, and he plays at the highest level every time.' and delivered Hwang In-beom's interview.
Hwang won his second consecutive game on the UCL stage. With six points in three games, it is not easy in a league at this level. If I play like this, I think I can make it to the round of 16 in UCL," he said, expressing confidence. Then "I'm feeling welcome from the club. He treats the club comfortably, around the club, and on the streets. Rotterdam is one of the coolest cities I've ever lived in. I want to thank everyone" he said.
