Full time: PSV 1-1 Dortmund
That’s it. Mats Hummels is still shaking his head over the penalty decision that allowed Luuk de Jong to equalise early in the second half. The former PSV player Donyell Maden, Dortmund’s only effervescent attacker, had put them ahead with a deflected cross-shot in the first half.
It wasn’t a great game, in truth, but the result sets things up nicely for the second leg next month.
90+6 min A dangerous low cross from Dest is welted to safety by Maatsen. Time is almost up for PSV.
90+3 min Hummels’ clearance goes as far as Veerman 25 yards out. He has a quick touch and pings a drive over the bar.
90+1 min Six minutes of added time. Hummels wipes out another PSV player with a strong ball-first sliding challenge; this time the referee decides it’s a clean tackle.
90 min: PSV substitution Boscagli limps off to be replaced by Armando Obispo.
89 min Boscagli has hurt himself while clearing the ball. It looks like a hamstring problem and the physio is on.
88 min Teze’s cross is well blocked by Wolf and Dortmund break. Brandt’s cutback is importantly cut out, I think by Veerman. A Dortmund winner would be harsh on PSV.
84 min Teze’s bouncing cross is knocked back to his keeper by Hummels, who winces in a manner that instantly tells us which part of the body he used.
83 min: PSV substitution Mauro Junior on, Ismael Saibari off.
82 min: Dortmund substitutions Youssoufa Moukoko and Salih Ozcan come on for Niclas Fullkrug and Donyell Malen, who was by far Dortmund’s best attacker.
81 min Dest beats Ryerson on the left edge of the area with some neat footwork, then blasts a shot towards the near post that is beaten away by Meyer. The angle was very tight.
79 min Dortmund have offered very little going forward since Malen/Dest put them ahead. You’d still fancy them to go through if it stays like this, but PSV will take a bit of confidence from the way this game has gone.
75 min: Chance for PSV! Bakayoko receives De Jong’s flick on, cuts inside Maatsen with ease on the edge of the area – and shoots tamely straight at Meyer. That was a better chance than the one he had in the first half.
It’s been a bitty performance from PSV, but on chances they could easily be a goal or two ahead.
75 min: PSV substitution Ricardo Pepi replaces Hirving Lozano, who faded after a strong first half.
72 min: Good save by Benitez! The free-kick almost leads to a goal. Maatsen’s free-kick is behind Wolf, who improvises brilliantly to flick a volley towards the near post. His arms are starting to go up in celebration of a memorable goal when Benitez moves smartly to his right to push it away.
71 min Saibara shoves Schlotterrbeck over just outside the area on the left, a needless foul that gives Dortmund an opportunity.
70 min It’s gone a bit flat in Eindhoven. This, surely, is PSV’s chance – a draw tonight would make Dortmund big favourites in the second leg.
68 min: Dortmund substitution Marius Wolf comes on for Jadon Sancho, who had a fairly quiet game.
65 min An ambitious/feckless shot from Lozano goes high and wide. PSV continues to dominate, though, with Dortmund struggling to turn the attacking tap back on after spending half an hour protecting their lead.
63 min: Dortmund substitution Julian Brandt replaces Marco Reus.
62 min Teze feeds a simple pass into Saibari, 25 yards out. He has a scandalous amount of time to turn onto his left foot and scorch a shot over the bar. That was half a chance.
61 min A dangerous inswinging corner from Sancho reaches Malen beyond the far post, a few yards out. He controls the ball on the chest but it won’t sit down and he flicks it over the bar. A PSV defender may have got a touch as well, though a goalkick was given.
59 min Ryerson’s driven cross is controlled expertly on the chest by Malen, backing away beyond the far post. He waits for the ball to bounce and swishes a shot from a tight angle that hits the keeper Benitez and flies behind for a corner. Benitez’s positioning was really good.
59 min That’s De Jong’s 28th goal of the season and his eighth in the Champions League. It’s a cracking story.
57 min Hummels goes to chat with the referee before the kick-off. He looks like a mathematician who has just been told that four is an odd number now.
GOAL! PSV 1-1 Dortmund (De Jong 56 pen)
De Jong calmly sidefoots the ball to his left. Meyer went the right way but couldn’t reach it.
It looked like a really good block tackle from Hummels on Tillman. He slid into Tillman, leading with his studs, and got a reasonable amount of the ball. After that he followed through into Tillman, tripping him in the procnss.
It wasn’t as clean as a tackle as I first thought, and in the modern game those are often given as fouls. Yep, the decision is upheld. Hummels is flabbergasted – he’s still making a VAR sign with the penalty about to be taken. I don’t think it was a foul, for what it’s worth. (The square root of bugger all.)
54 min: Penalty to PSV! Hmm, I’m not sure about this.
52 min Better from Dortmund, who win a corner on the left after good play from Sancho and Maatsen.
51 min Dortmund are asking for trouble by sitting on their 1-0 lead. I know it’s human nature, and I know even a 1-1 draw would be a very good result, but they are taking a risk by allowing PSV to dominate possession like this.
49 min Veerman’s long-range shot deflects a few yards wide of the right-hand post. He takes the corner himself and it’s headed away.
48 min Teze’s imaginative low cross looks set to reach De Jong 15 yards out, but Hummels stretches to make a vital interception. That may well have saved a goal.
46 min PSV get the second half under way. They haven’t lost at home since November 2022, in any competition, it says here.
Half-time reading
Half time: PSV 0-1 Dortmund
Interesting stuff in Eindhoven. PSV didn’t really get going until Donyell Malen’s deflected cross-shot put Dortmund ahead in the 24th minute changed the psychology of the game. They attacked more, Dortmund attacked less, and PSV’s wingers started to strut their stuff.
Even so, the Dortmund keeper Alexander Meyer – who replaced Gregor Kobel just before kick off – had only one fairly comfortable save to make.
45+2 min Ryerson again fouls Lozano, who again wants a yellow card. The referee tells them all to do one.
45+1 min Now Schlotterbeck is booked for hoofing Tillman up in the air. He’ll miss the second leg.
45 min PSV won’t want half-time; they’ve finally woken up and their wingers, Lozano and Bakayoko, are seeing a lot of the ball.
43 min The resulting free-kick is headed over by De Jong at the far post. A tenth of a chance maybe.
42 min Maatsen is booked for pulling back Bakayoko. Ryerson owes him an apology because the next Dortmund foul was always going to lead to a yellow card.
