PSV Eindhoven 1-2 Club Brugge: Joaquin Seys sets up both goals in a third straight Brugge win
Nicolo Tresoldi headed Club Brugge ahead and Carlos Forbs added a second, both assisted by Joaquin Seys, as Brugge won 2-1 away at PSV Eindhoven despite PSV dominating possession and shots on target.
Club Brugge won 2-1 away at PSV Eindhoven on Champions League matchday 4, Nicolo Tresoldi heading them in front and Carlos Forbs adding a second after Kodai Sano had levelled for the hosts — both Brugge goals set up by the same player, Joaquin Seys.
Seys behind both strikes
Tresoldi opened the scoring with a 25th-minute header from Seys's delivery. PSV responded through Sano, unassisted, in the 54th minute, but Forbs restored Brugge's lead in the 65th, again teed up by Seys. Forbs was one of three Brugge players booked, along with Hugo Vetlesen and Jorne Spileers, in a game PSV finished without a single caution of their own.
Territory without reward for PSV
PSV had 62.1% of possession and nine shots on target to Brugge's three, yet lost the game — a one-sided stats sheet that did not translate into the scoreline. It continues an inconsistent run in Europe: a draw with Shakhtar Donetsk, a loss to RB Leipzig and a win at Porto preceded this defeat, meaning PSV have not strung together two positive league-phase results all season.
A third straight win for Brugge
Brugge, by contrast, have now won three Champions League matches in a row, following an opening-day defeat to Aston Villa with victories over Inter Milan and Lens before this trip to Eindhoven. It is their best run of form in the competition so far.
