Sevilla lost but it was enough to qualify for the Round of 16

For playoff 7 of the 2022-2023 Europa League tournament, PSV celebrated at home by facing Sevillistas. The local goals were scored by Luuk de Jong (31′ 2T) and Fábio Silva (49′ 2T).

In the 66th minute of the second half, midfielder Ivan Rakitic had the chance to open the scoring, but his shot bounced off the post.

The best man of the match was Luuk de Jong. The PSV striker scored 1 goal and shot 6 times in the opposite goal.

Fábio Silva also stood out at the Philips Stadion. The PSV striker scored 1 goal.

Sevilla defender Tanguy Nianzou humbled his mark by throwing a magnificent pipe after 9 minutes of the first leg.

The match was cut short due to the number of fouls committed by both teams. The warnings were numerous: Marcos Acuña, Tanguy Nianzou, Marko Dmitrovic, Phillipp Mwene, Rafael Mir and Xavi Simons.

PSV coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy suggested a 4-3-3 formation with Walter Benítez in goal; Phillipp Mwene, André Ramalho, Jarrad Branthwaite and Patrick Van Aanholt on the defensive line; Guus Til, Joey Veerman and Erick Gutiérrez in the middle; and Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong and Xavi Simons in attack.

For their part, Jorge Sampaoli’s team entered the field with a 5-4-1 pattern with Marko Dmitrovic under the three sticks; Jesús Navas, Tanguy Nianzou, Fernando, Alex Telles and Marcos Acuña in defence; Oliver Torres, Jordán, Ivan Rakitic and Bryan Gil in midfield; and Youssef En Nesyri in front.

Referee Daniele Orsato was in charge of supervising the game at Philips Stadion.

The victory was not enough for PSV and the Sevillians agreed this Thursday for the round of 16 of the Europa League 2022-2023.
