PSV need extra time before eliminating Juventus from Champions League

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands - Defender Ryan Flamingo scored an extra-time winner to give PSV Eindhoven a 3-1 home win on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League knockout phase playoff against Juventus, overturning a first-leg deficit and putting them into the last 16.

The tie was level at 3-3 on aggregate after 90 minutes and went into extra time before Flamingo poached a 98th-minute winner to see the Dutch side advance as Juventus became the third Italian side eliminated from the competition following AC Milan and Atalanta on Tuesday.

Juventus had a 2-1 lead going into the second leg at the Philips Stadion but PSV cancelled that out when veteran Ivan Perisic opened the scoring in the 53rd minute.

The visitors restored their advantage when Timothy Weah equalised 10 minutes later, only for Ismael Saibari to make it 2-1 and level the aggregate scoreline with his close-in effort in the 74th minute.

PSV had several chances to win the tie before it went into extra time, where Flamingo made no mistake as he took advantage of a defensive muddle to see PSV to a 4-3 aggregate triumph.

It was a deserved success for the Dutch despite them struggling to get going and failing to get a shot on target in the first half.

Compliments to everyone for how they did it. Everyone gave it their all but we also played good football at times, said PSV skipper Luuk de Jong.

The 36-year-old Perisic scored with a stunning finish after Noa Lang drove down the left wing and cut in before passing to the Croatia international. Perisic still needed a delicate first touch and then belted home a half volley across the goal and into the opposite corner of the net.
