PSV has not succeeded in taking a result from Turin. In the first match of the intermediate round of the Champions League, the Eindhoven team seemed to be on their way to a deserving draw, but ten minutes before time, a goal from Samuel Mbangula threw a spanner in the works. PSV therefore awaits a spicy return next Wednesday in its own Philips Stadium.
For PSV it seemed to be a average match against an Italian team. After having survived the first storm, the Eindhoven players enjoyed playing fun in Turin and found it easier the free man. But just when you thought PSV had the game under control, Juventus struck.
Joey Veerman tried to build up in a difficult situation and wasted the ball so clumsy. The Italians smoke immediately and struck Weston McKennie. PSV was behind after 34 minutes and seemed to have lost the road.
Ivan Perisic takes PSV at hand
It had to survive until the break. And just after the break it got away well. It is that Ryan Flamingo removed a ball from De Lijn and thus prevented the 2-0. At that time, as a PSV supporter, you had signed Blind for a 1-0 final score.
But Ivan Perisic was out of nowhere. The Kroaat had to watch eight games in the Champions League because he had only been met after the transfer period. In his first match this season at the highest level, he took PSV by the hand and unexpectedly put the 1-1 on the scoreboard.
Cold fair
PSV, which has been out of shape in the Eredivisie in recent weeks, suddenly had a good starting position for the return next Wednesday in Eindhoven. Due to the fact that that competition was still on the program, both teams hoped for two thoughts.
Yet PSV came home from a cold fair. Because just like in the first half, PSV seemed to have control. In fact, Juventus played especially against his own supporters that it was a lot of grumbling. But as Johan Cruijff always said: “Italians can’t beat you, but you can lose from them.”
Ten minutes before time it was Samuel Mbangula who was alert to a rebound and gave PSV a hangover. Instead of a promising draw, the people of Eindhoven start with a backlog at the return in the Philips Stadium.
