PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk drew 1-1 in the Champions League at Philips Stadion. Shakhtar Donetsk led at half-time, and PSV Eindhoven were level again almost as soon as the second half began.

Match Summary

The first half stayed goalless until its closing minute. Vinícius Tobias was booked in the 35th minute for Shakhtar Donetsk, and the visitors still found the opener before the break. Gleiker Mendoza scored in the 45th minute, assisted by Isaque, to send Shakhtar Donetsk in with the lead.

PSV Eindhoven needed only a few minutes after the restart. Mendoza was shown a yellow in the 47th minute, and Sergiño Dest equalized in the 48th minute with an assist from Armando Obispo. The hosts had cancelled the lead before the second half had settled.

After that the score stayed 1-1. Bookings continued for both sides, including yellow cards for Armando Obispo, Ruben van Bommel and Sergiño Dest. Nobody was sent off, and neither side scored again.

Key Moments

Half-time with the visitors in front mattered because PSV Eindhoven had to come from behind after the interval rather than play from ahead. The early second-half equalizer mattered more. It wiped out Shakhtar Donetsk's lead so quickly that both teams still had most of the half in front of them, and neither found a second goal.

The other tension was disciplinary. Shakhtar Donetsk collected far more cautions than the hosts, yet no red card arrived. Eleven against eleven held to the end, which kept the draw intact once the scores were level.

Match Statistics

PSV Eindhoven had 54 percent of possession to 46 for Shakhtar Donetsk and took nine shots to eight. Each team put two attempts on target and won three corners. The referee showed three yellow cards to the hosts and six to the visitors, with no dismissals.
