Feyenoord Vs Panathinaikos Live Score, UEFA Europa League: Match Rescheduled For 12:30am IST Due To Storm Threat

Speaking of the Europa League itself, as many as eight matchday 3 games have kicked off across venues at 10:15pm IST, featuring the likes of Aston Villa, Lyon and Rangers. In another notable clash, Fenerbahce are hosting VfB Stuttgart in Istanbul.

Felipe Mora scored two first-half goals, defender Kamal Miller added another in the 82nd minute and the Portland Timbers beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in a wild-card Major League Soccer match. Portland advanced to play Western Conference regular-season champion San Diego in a best-of-three first-round playoff series.

Lionel Messi has finally agreed to a new contract with Inter Miami, a deal that required several months to complete and ensures that the sport’s megastar will be with the Major League Soccer club for its planned move into a new stadium in 2026. Inter Miami said it was a three-year deal through 2028. 

The deal was announced one day before Inter Miami’s playoff opener against Nashville. Messi’s team — the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference — will play host to Game 1 of that best-of-three series on Saturday.

Over in the UEFA Champions League, Arne Slot explained that Alexander Isak was withdrawn at half-time of Liverpool's comprehensive 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt due to a groin injury. The big-money transfer window signing from Newcastle United was selected in the starting XI alongside fellow new arrival Hugo Ekitike.

However, Isak was replaced at the interval by Federico Chiesa, and Reds boss Slot did not say whether he would be fit to face Brentford this weekend.

An updated adverse weather forecast has led to the match now being pushed back. Storm threat means the kick-off time has changed from 8pm IST, which itself was an update on the original 10:15pm schedule, to 12:30am IST.

The two teams have met twice previously in a competitive setting, during the European Cup 1984-85. The first leg in the Netherlands ended in a 0-0 draw, followed by a 2-1 win for Panathinaikos in the return leg.

The match was originally scheduled to kick off at 10:15pm IST, but it was brought forward to 8pm IST due to severe weather warnings. Authorities requested the change after forecasters issued a Code Orange alert for strong winds exceeding 100 km/h, the Rotterdam-based Feyenoord said. UEFA and Feyenoord agreed the game could only proceed with the earlier start.

The match starts at 8pm IST. Select matches of the UEFA Europa League are being live streamed on the Sony LIV app and website in India, and telecast on the Sony Sports Network TV channels in the country. In Netherlands, the Feyenoord vs Panathinaikos game will be shown on Ziggo Sport and in Greece on ANT1+ and Cosmote Sports 3 HD.
