10 Sep
Summary
- Sergiño Dest scored the equalizer for PSV in their Champions League draw.
- Dest's goal was his second in Champions League history.
- PSV, featuring Dest and Ricardo Pepi, is a key USMNT interest in the UCL.
Sergiño Dest netted a crucial equalizer for PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League encounter against Shakhtar Donetsk, securing a 1-1 draw for his Dutch club. This goal marked Dest's second career strike in the Champions League.
His timely finish three minutes into the second half leveled the score after Shakhtar had taken a first-half lead. The goal came shortly after Dest was involved in a controversial play where he appeared to be fouled before Shakhtar scored, but no call was made.
PSV, featuring both Dest and fellow American Ricardo Pepi, represents a significant point of interest for U.S. soccer fans monitoring the Champions League. Pepi also started the match, playing a considerable portion of the game.
Dest is considered a strong candidate for an upcoming USMNT roster announcement, having been a starter in several matches during the last World Cup.
