Six years is a long time between Champions League goals. For Sergiño Dest, the wait ended in the 48th minute at Philips Stadion on September 10, when his right-footed finish pulled PSV Eindhoven level in a 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The goal was only Dest’s second ever in the competition, his first coming back in November 2020 when he wore a Barcelona shirt against Dynamo Kyiv.
How the match unfolded
Shakhtar’s Gleiker Mendoza struck in first-half stoppage time to give the Ukrainian side a 1-0 lead heading into the break.
Just three minutes after the restart, Dest latched onto a pass from center-back Armando Obispo and drove a right-footed shot home to restore parity.
