PSV and Shakhtar Exchange Blows
At the Philips Stadion, PSV and Shakhtar meet again in the Champions League after more than twenty years, delivering a hard-fought and intense match from start to finish. After an early chance for PSV with former Inter player Perisic, it was the Ukrainian side that took the lead with a splendid curling shot from Mendoza, following a run that began with a suspected foul in midfield against Dest.
