At PSV, the young Belgian Yorbe Vertessen got a basic place for the vital game against Galatasaray. He was also noticed, but his finish let him down at a 1-0 score.
Then his attack partner Zahavi’s visor was better adjusted. The Israeli scored twice before halftime, although he was also served by the blundering goalkeeper Muslera. Still, PSV went into the dressing room with a damper after Kilinc’s late 2-1. It wouldn’t be true would it?
But PSV convinced even more after the break. Zahavi first offered Götze the 3-1, and then made his 3rd of the evening in the final phase. After Götze’s 5-1, Galatasaray was completely in control.
For some fans of Galatasaray the measure was already full for a while. For a moment, the match threatened to derail in the stands after rival fan clans tried to find each other.
The return match next week seems like a formality anyway. If PSV qualify, it will face the winner of the game between Celtic and Midtjylland in the 3rd preliminary round, the first leg of which ended 1-1.
