EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP) — Midfielder Davy Proepper let go a 86th-minute victor for PSV Eindhoven to beat CSKA Moscow 2-1 on Tuesday and achieve the knockout phase of the Champions League surprisingly since 2006.
Veteran guard Sergei Ignashevic seemed to have dashed Eindhoven any expectations of progressing when he changed over a 76th-minute punishment to give Moscow the lead, however PSV skipper Luuk de Jong evened out only two minutes after the fact, and Proepper’s low shot fixed the win.
At last, Manchester United’s 3-2 rout at Wolfsburg implied a draw would have been sufficient for PSV.
CSKA was at that point out of conflict for the following round, yet could have secured an Europa League billet with a win in Eindhoven
