Sergiño Dest carried his hot start to the season for PSV Eindhoven over into the Champions League, salvaging a point for his Dutch club in a 1-1 draw vs. Shakhtar Donetsk.Dest, who has had two goals and two assists in PSV’s first four Eredivisie games of the season, scored the equalizer three minutes into the second half with a clinical finish from inside the Shakhtar box. Armando Obispo had cut back a cross into space at the top of the box, and an eager Dest was the first to get to it, rifling a right-footed finished into the back of the net to make it 1-1.The goal was Dest’s second career goal in the Champions League, with the first coming in 2023 for Barcelona against another Ukrainian opponent, Dynamo Kiev.

— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) September 10, 2026It was a bit of a just reward for Dest, who appeared to have been fouled in the build-up to Shakhtar’s opening goal in first-half stoppage time, only for no call to be given. He took a crunching tackle in the center circle while attempting to recover possession off his own heavy touch, but Shakhtar capitalized as he remained on the ground, attacking the space at right back where he would have otherwise been defending to score the goal.
