For this third group match, Niko Kovac opts for a real 3-5-2, with in particular the return in midfield of Aurélien Tchouameni, suspended in Lyon, and the tenure of Myron Boadu, the “regional of the stage. », Alongside Kevin Volland in attack. It is also the young Dutch center forward who is the first dangerous, failing to take a good cross from Benoît Badiashile for a few centimeters.
Myron Boadu opens his counter
An appetizer for the Batavian international, who scored his first goal a few minutes later in his new colors (20e), picking up in first intention a nice through pass from Caio Henrique. The Monegasque number 9 is even very close to doubling the stake, against, but each time the defense of PSV intervenes on the wire (39e, 45e).

The delivery signed Sofiane Diop
Returning to the locker room with a goal in advance, Niko Kovac’s men started the second half more timidly but Guillermo Maripán (48e) and Alexandre Nübel (49e, 51e, 56e) are vigilant to avoid equalization. Unfortunately, this one ends up arriving on a powerful strike of Cody Gakpo just at the entry of the surface (59e).
The Dutch then received enormous pressure, but the Red and Whites held on to deliverance. Again alerted on his left side, Caio Henrique crosses in six meters for Sofiane Diop, who came into play shortly before, who pushes the ball to and offers success to his team in the 89th minute.
