For a long time it looked as if Mario Götze and his PSV Eindhoven would reach the semi-finals of the Conference League. But in the closing stages, the team experienced a rude awakening.
Also a strong one Mario Götze has the end of the PSV Eindhoven in the quarterfinals of the soccer conference league. The 2014 world champion prepared on Thursday 1: 2 (1: 0) against the Premier League club Leicester City the opening goal by Era Zahavi (27th).
Thanks to goals from James Maddison (77′) and Ricardo Pereira (88′), the English managed to turn things around. In the first leg in Leicester, the two teams drew 0-0.
The ex-Dortmunder and Municher Götze was particularly convincing before the break as a source of ideas and pace in the German coach’s team Roger Schmidt. After the break, the guests pushed for an equalizer and put the defense around the former Augsburger Philipp Max negative pressure. Three minutes after replacing an exhausted Max, Maddison made it 1-1 and eleven minutes later Ricardo Pereira scored the deserved winner.
