Matchday 1 - PSV Eindhoven (A) 1-1 D

Seconds past the 45 minute mark the Ukrainian champions opened the scoring through Mendoza who turned his marker before firing a delicious shot low into the bottom right hand corner wide left of the area, ten yards from the goal line. It took the Dutch side just 2 minutes after the restart to find the equaliser as Dest smashed home from 16 yards. Poor defending on 66’ allowed Isaque to break free but his low effort straight at Kovár from 16 yards was a wasted opportunity to claim all 3 points for the visitors on an early evening game where chances were few and far between for either side. No big chances created over the course of the 90.
