Soccer-Feyenoord stun Bayern Munich 3-0 with Gimenez double
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez scored twice in the first half to steer the hosts to a 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday and boost their chances of a top-eight finish on the last matchday next week.
The Mexico international fired them into the lead in the 21st minute with a deft shot before adding a second goal with a penalty in the ninth minute of first-half stoppage time.
Substitute Ayase Ueda killed off the game in the 89th after Feyenoord keeper Justin Bijlow had denied the Bavarians with a string of strong saves.
Feyenoord climbed above Bayern, who had 32 efforts towards goal and also hit the woodwork, into 11th place on 13 points. The Bavarians dropped to 15th on 12 with their third defeat in seven matches.
The top eight finishers qualify for the Round of 16 while the next 16 teams go into a playoff.
