Nigeria professional footballer, Samuel Chukwueze and his Italian club, AC Milan were on Tuesday bundled out of the UEFA Champions League  playoffs round after a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Dutch side, Feyenoord in Milan.

The Rossoneri needed to overturn a 1-0 loss to Feyenoord in the first leg and they began the game impressively scoring after only 38 seconds through Santiago Gimenez who netted against his former club to give his new club a good start.

Milan threatened thereafter to increase the tally but lack of marksmanship in the final third robbed them of a goal that could have insured their opening goal.

Feyenoord came back into the game the moment Frenchman, Theo Hernandez got yellow carded in the 44th and 51st minutes. The visitors equalised in the 73rd minute through Julian Carranza to protect their lone goal advantage of the first leg.

Chukwueze was introduced in the 83rd minute as a replacement for Yunus Musah as Milan became desperate in search of the equaliser. It yielded no fruitful result.

Feyenoord also ended the game with 10 men following the dismissal of Givairo Read in the stoppage time of the game.
