No time for more! Maccabi Tel Aviv equalize, but fall short on aggregate (1-2) and PSV advance to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Conference League 2021-2022.
Just as in the first match of this series, PSV is outplaying Maccabi Tel Aviv, but fails to score; although they have the advantage on aggregate, they should not be complacent against the Israelis, as they are only one goal away from being level.
Also this weekend, PSV made their home advantage count with a 3-1 victory over Heerenveen at the Phillips Stadion, with goals from Noni Madueke, Mario Götze and Joey Veerman. With this victory, they remained in second place in the Dutch Eredivisie, now with 52 points.
Last Sunday, Maccabi Tel Aviv took advantage of their home advantage to defeat H. Halifa 2-0 at the Bloomfield Stadium, with goals from Stipe Perica and Matan Baltaxa. With this victory, they reached 44 points, which puts them in third place in the Israeli League.
The central referee for this match will be Harald Lechner; Andreas Heidenreich, first assistant; Maximilian Kolbitsch, second row; Markus Hameter, fourth official; and Patrik Filipek, delegate.
