US defender Sergiño Dest grabs the equalizer as PSV draws 1-1 with Shakhtar in Champions League

EINDHOVEN (NETHERLANDS): (Sep 11) United States defender Sergiño Dest swept in the equalizer as PSV Eindhoven drew 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League game on Thursday.

The right back timed his run well to meet a low pass from the left from Armando Obispo and score from just inside the penalty area early into the second half; having been involved in Shakhtar’s goal on the stroke of halftime.

Venezuela midfielder Gleiker Mendoza curled the ball into the bottom right corner to grab his first goal for his new club and celebrated with the team bench. But PSV’s players were angry that the goal was given, claiming Dest had been fouled.
