PSV, with Jordan Bakayoko assisting twice, had a big success when they received the Austrians from Sturm Graz (4-1) in the first leg of the third preliminary round of the Champions League on Tuesday evening. The second leg will be played at the UPC-Arena in Graz on Tuesday August 15.
The Dutch quickly took control of the game thanks to Jordan Bakayoko et Isaac Readers (4th). The first shone in the assist, the second in the finish. The Red Devil proved decisive less than twenty minutes later with a new offering for his teammate Luke of Jong (22e).
Ten minutes following making the break, PSV took off a little further with a double from De Jong, on an assist from the former Brugeois Noah Lang (32nd). The Austrians returned to the game by signing the 3-1 (40th) but a goal of Patrick van Aanholt almost showered their hopes 120 seconds later (42nd). Fortunately for them, the referee canceled it for a hand fault.
However, the score logically increased as the last quarter of an hour approached on a header fromIbrahim Sangare (73rd). Note that Jordan Bakayoko was replaced at the very end of the game (84th) by the former Union Saint-Gilloise player, Yorbe Vertesse.
At the same time, Racow beat Aris Limassol at home (2-1). The Poles have long had a two-goal lead on goals from Kochergin (7th) and Piasecki (63rd, penalty) but the Cypriots planted a goal late in the game (89th) which will leave the suspense in the return match. Finally, Copenhagen and Sparta Prague shared the challenge at Parken Stadium (0-0). Everything will be to do in the return match in the Czech capital for both teams.
