There had even been more residents against the team of goalkeeper Mark Flekken and attacker Ernest Poku, who both started in the base, but in the final phase Ismael Saibari broke over. The point achieved does not hurt a lot with a view to PSV’s objective to end with the best 24, certainly not if you take into account the PSV program, but the adult manner in which his team presented himself and the better organization in comparison with earlier this season, Bosz must do well.
Guus Til in rush hour
Bosz had held on to Guus Til as a striker, a role for which he finds the midfielder suitable for the depth he has in his game. The experiment with Paul Wanner as hanging right winger had not been continued. After his good raid on Woudestein against Excelsior, Dennis Man was allowed to show it from the kick -off.
The Romanian had a rough start in Eindhoven, but after his decisive role against Excelsior, Man also applied in a positive way in the Bayarena. With a beautiful cross, the wing player who came over from the Italian Parma released Perisic after four minutes. The Croat headed well, but PSV had cheered too early, because after pulling the lines it turned out that Perisic had been a fraction offside.

With that, PSV, just like in the first group match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, grabbed unfortunate in addition to an early lead. Against the Belgian champion, who got a 4-0 beat on Wednesday from Newcastle United, it was Saibari who missed an imposed opportunity early in the game.
Armando Obispo in Basic, Ryan Flamingo on Bank
Bosz surprised with a strong procedure in the defense. Ryan Flamingo started on the couch and Armando Obispo in the base. The PSV had recently implemented that change against NEC, but then Flamingo quickly came back to the team, because Obispo fell out with a main injury.
Before the competition, Bosz declared Ziggo Sport His choice: ,, Ryan did a great job as a young player, almost a year. But with young boys it is also logical that it occasionally goes a little less. Then you can do two things. The first is: leave him, and we did that. But sometimes you help someone just by taking him out of the team and giving peace. In addition, I think Armando is also doing great. ”
PSV-keeper Matej Kovar has one special memory of opponent and former club Bayer Leverkusen
Due to the choice of Bosz for OBISPO, PSV entered into a defense of four original left legs, a fairly remarkable fact.
Bayer Leverkusen takes the initiative
After an opening phase in which it went reasonably well, Leverkusen soon seized the initiative in the competition. In this phase, PSV staggered. The speed on the flanks of Poku and Axel Tape caused problems at PSV, that Alejandro Grimaldo, the best player on the side of Leverkusen, saw the ball stairs from a difficult angle on the pole. Malik Tillman also got a good chance against his old team, but Matej Kovar saved fine.
PSV has been warned: Ernest Poku shows itself at Bayer Leverkusen
In the final phase of the first half, the game was more balanced with phases of more possession of PSV, which threw a lot of bean into the duels. That development continued after the break, in which PSV had the affairs defensively well done with a very strongly defending Yarek Gasiorowski, who won almost all his duels. It was a shame how one moment of frivolity broke out PSV.
Spiry fault Schouten almost breaks up PSV
In his own sixteen of a short distance, Jerdy Schouten played a difficult ball in Obispo, who did not process the ball properly, so that Christian Kofane was able to get rid of it and gave Leverkusen ahead. Another unfortunate moment of Schouten who does not yet reach the high level that he has shown earlier this season. After the goal goal, Obispo was replaced by Flamingo. The defender seemed to have stuck just before that.
Saibari curls touches
PSV was not discouraged by the clumsy counter goal and went looking for the equalizer. And that came too. After excellent preparatory work from the Til who moved to the side, it was Saibari, who had difficulty taking advantage of the opportunities earlier this season, which PSV delivered the earned equalizer with a great finish (1-1).
PSV gets away well in the final phase
In injury time there was a very big chance for Leverkusen via Grimaldo, but Kovar saved his team. And in this way the Bosz team achieved a result and a performance, with which PSV can help ahead after the changementaryness of the past weeks.
