Overview
- VAR awarded PSV a penalty for a Ridle Baku handball but Ivan Perišić's spot kick was saved by Leipzig goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt.
- PSV keeper Matěj Kovář produced a string of crucial saves and continued despite a painful challenge that briefly shook him.
- Brajan Gruda scored the only goal late in the second half when his shot deflected off Perišić and beat Kovář.
- Coach Peter Bosz started Filip Kostic at left-back to free Mauro Júnior for midfield and made late attacking changes, bringing on Ryan Flamingo, Yarek Gasiorowski and Champions League debutants Mikkel Bro Hansen and Ayoni Santos as PSV pushed for an equalizer.
- PSV now have one point from two group games after drawing with Shakhtar Donetsk and face FC Porto next week, a run that leaves them under immediate pressure to recover in the group and end their long winless run in Germany.
