Feyenoord went into the game without Marcos Senesi after he was sent off in the 0-0 draw with Dinamo Zagreb last week. Eric Botteghin came into the eleven while Lutsharel Geertruida was selected in midfield.
The hosts were confident off a victory but after 14 minutes they found themselves 2-0 down due to two dubious penalties. Mykola Balakin made himself a villain in Rotterdam by firstly believing Christopher Wernitznig was brought down by Botteghin in the fourth minute. He then pointed to the spot again when Wernitznig again went down under alleged contact by Bart Nieuwkoop. Both spot kicks were scored by Michael Liendl.
Feyenoord failed to create anything before the break and Advocaat made a change with Luciano Narsingh replacing Nieuwkoop.
The hosts looked much better and Steven Berghuis pulled one back early on. They then poured forward looking for the equaliser and missed some huge chances. Bryan Linssen wasted two massive opportunities then Ridgeciano Haps headed wide.
It seemed an equaliser was coming but then on the hour mark, Wolfsberger broke and Liendl completed his hat-trick on the rebound.
Feyenoord were then denied a penalty when Orkun Kokcu was brought down in the box. What made matters worse is that Wolfsberger went down the other end and Bijlow was punished for barging into Dejan Joveljic. He punched the ball but a penalty was given, which Liendl scored.
Feyenoord had no way back from that point and suffered their first defeat of the season.
