Mats Wieferr gave Feyenoord a slender advantage over Roma in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.
The midfielder met Oussama Idrissi’s left-wing cross, with his 20-yard effort going through a crowded area and bouncing twice on its way in.
Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini hit the post with a first-half penalty after a harsh handball call against Wieferr.
They went close again when Roger Ibanez’s header was nodded onto the underside of the bar by two defenders.
Jose Mourinho’s Roma lost Argentina forward Paulo Dybala to a thigh injury in the 26th minute, while England striker Tammy Abraham suffered a shoulder issue in the 58th minute.
The match was a repeat of the 2022 Europa Conference League final, which Roma won 1-0 thanks to a Nicolo Zaniolo goal.
The win extended Feyenoord’s unbeaten record in home European games to 14.
German side Bayer Leverkusen or Belgian’s Union Saint-Gilloise await the winners in the semi-finals.
