PSV Eindhoven and Borussia Dortmund finished 1-1, as that was the Dutch side’s 1st Champions League playoff appearance in 8 years; which team will advance to the next phase of the tournaments will be decided in Germany next month.

The visiting side had the lead after the 1st half as Donyell Malen scored in the 24th minute after Marcel Sabitzer’s assist.
However, veteran striker Luuk de Jong converted a penalty in the 56th minute to tie the result, as that was the final goal in the match despite the home team trying to score at least 1 more goal until the end, but it didn’t happen.
History made! 🇺🇸

That was, without a doubt, a disappointing home draw for PSV as Dortmund is now the favorite to advance as the support from the fans at Signal Iduna Park can lift the German team to beat anyone at their stadium.
PSV have equalled their longest run without defeat in the Champions League:
