Feyenoord were always going to have it tough against Chelsea, who had won the competition in two of the last three years, and after ten minutes they found themselves already 2-0 down. Ampadu headed the hosts in front before Dutch striker Daishawn Redan made it 2-0 shortly afterwards, sliding in a Juan Castillo cross.
Achraf el Bouchataoui pulled one back for Feyenoord with a deflected effort and Wouter Burger nearly equalised on 20 minutes with a free-kick that had to be clawed away by the Chelsea goalkeeper. However, Castillo made it 3-1 before the break, with a cross that looped over Justin Bijlow.
Early in the second half, Geertruida, unfortunately, netted an own goal to make it 4-1 and then St Clair added a fifth. Noah Lewis volleyed in a corner late on to pull one back for Feyenoord before the end.
