MILAN (AP) — Former Feyenoord forward Santiago Giménez continued his scoring streak in the Champions League this season — but this time against the Dutch club.

However, Giménez’s early goal for AC Milan was to count for little in the end as teammate Theo Hernandez was sent off in the second half and Feyenoord went on to level the match and advance to the last 16, 2-1 on aggregate.

Giménez, who moved to Milan from Feyenoord last month in a 30 million euro ($31 million) transfer, scored for the Rossoneri after just 40 seconds of the second leg of their Champions League knockout playoff on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old Mexico international held up his hands in apology after heading in from close range.

It was Giménez’s sixth goal in seven Champions League matches this season, but all the previous goals had come for Feyenoord.

He has scored twice for Milan in Serie A.

The Dutch club won the first leg 1-0 last week, following an uncharacteristic error from Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
