Just seven minutes later (72\u2019)<\/strong>, Moroccan midfielder Ismael Saibari<\/strong> found space after a slick attacking move and struck a precise finish to level the game at 1-1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe equalizer gave PSV confidence, and both sides pushed for a winner in the final stages.
