Buendia and McGinn power Aston Villa to win against Feyenoord in Europa League; check match report

Two goals in the second half sealed the deal for Aston Villa, who made it two out of two wins in the Europa League. After 0-0 in the first half, Emiliano Buendia and John McGinn scored one goal each to guide the England-based club to a 2-0 victory against Feyenoord on Thursday (September 2, 2025) at the Feyenoord Stadium, Netherlands.

With this victory, Aston Villa bagged three hard-earned points in Rotterdam. Unai Emery's side followed up their 1-0 success over Bologna with another win. Villa, forced into a change before kickoff, with Marco Bizot replacing keeper Emi Martinez, needed to weather a first-half storm from the hosts before taking control of the proceedings and coming out on top.

Bizot twice denied Anis Hadj Moussa and pulled off an impressive save from Luciano Valente, with Villa's Ian Maatsen making a goal-line clearance. Villa came close early in the second half, with Evann Guessand's strike coming off the post, and they took the lead in the 61st minute.


Boubacar Kamara laid the ball off to Buendia at the edge of the area, who took one touch to control and made no mistake as his shot flew into the bottom corner, and with 11 minutes left in the game, Villa wrapped up the win.

Donyell Malen raced into the box before losing possession, but McGinn was there to pounce and smash the ball to the net, and Villa were on maximum points after two games. During the match, Aston Villa had possession of 60 percent and converted two out of three shots on target into goals.
