PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk played to a 1-1 draw in their opening match of the UEFA Champions League league phase at the Philips Stadion on September 10, 2026. Shakhtar Donetsk took the lead in first-half stoppage time (45+1’) via a goal from Gleiker Mendoza, who scored on his Champions League debut. Mendoza, a Venezuelan forward, became only the fourth Venezuelan to score in the competition. PSV Eindhoven responded early in the second half, with Sergino Dest equalizing in the 48th minute following an assist from Armando Obispo. Dest, who was named man of the match, noted that while the draw was a step forward compared to previous opening matches, the team felt they could have achieved more. Despite PSV’s dominance in the second half and several attempts to secure a win, the match ended in a stalemate. The fixture was officiated by Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler and was marked by high intensity, resulting in nine yellow cards, with Shakhtar Donetsk receiving six cautions. Shakhtar Donetsk, managed by Arda Turan, continues to play home matches at neutral venues due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Their next fixture is scheduled against AEK Athens at Stamford Bridge in London. The result leaves both teams with one point as they begin their campaigns in the new Champions League format.
