I am migrating products from an OpenCart shop to Magento 2. Now I want to create rewrite URL'S, but this does not work properly.

This is an Opencart product URL: /index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1966

When I create a rewrite URL in Magento it redirects to the homepage. I think the problem is the 'index.php' part?

Any idea on how to fix this?
