Match Summary:

PSV hold on to secure all three points against Red Star Belgrade, despite a second half comeback from the home side that saw them come close to overturning the 3-0 first half deficit, after PSV were reduced to 10 men. The Dutch side led 3-0 at the break, after goals from De Jong, Til and Flamingo and they looked in complete control until Flamingo was shown a straight red card just after the restart for bringing Radonjic down as the last man. Red Star started to threaten following the sending off and had several chances to get back into the game, with Ndiaye making it 3-1 on 71 minutes, before Djiga got another a few minutes later to make it a nervy finish. The home side pushed for a late equaliser, but couldn't find another as PSV held on to record their third victory in the Champions League this season. This win moves them up to 16th with just one game remaining, which is against the leaders Liverpool next week.

Match Summary:
The game ended without the goals for the both team. Defence of both of the teams were phenomenal. Brugge started the second half strongly, with Tzolis' effective pressure forcing Di Gregorio into a poor turnover in the 48th minute. Vanaken set up Jutgla for a shot into an open net, but the Spaniard failed to find the target from behind the penalty spot. Then in the 74th minute, Talbi's excellent cross into the box was met on the volley by Nilsson from close range, but the Swede couldn't get his connection on target. In fact, neither side had found a shot on target for the majority of the match and it took until the 85th minute for Locatelli to fashion the first of the game. The Italian defender found a few yards of space outside the penalty area and took on the shot from range, forcing Mignolet into an important save. Both sides keep their four-match unbeaten streaks in the Champions League intact in the end, but it was a largely poor showing.
