panathinaikos fc claimed their first point in group e but left it late to draw 1-1 at psv eindhoven.
memphis depay hit the bar with a free-kick from the edge of the box after 17 minutes, and the dutch international – playing for the first time since 13 september after recovering from a groin injury – always looked the most likely to break the deadlock. he duly obliged on the stroke of half-time. luuk de jong played a sublime ball to send the young psv striker through, and he rounded luke steele before calmly slotting home.
the second half began in a more lively fashion. psv keeper remko pasveer had to sprint from his line to deny substitute abdul ajagun and at the other end steele palmed a jetro willems shot over the bar. he also clutched a long-range attempt from depay. ajagun should have at least hit the target after a cute pass from viktor klonaridis released him behind the home defence, yet he screwed his effort well wide.
a strong run by ouasim bouy sprang another substitute, nikos karelis, inside the box but the ball got tangled under his feet and he failed to get a shot away. yet it was the greeks who struck just before the end to take their first point in group e. pasveer blocked mladen petrić's close-range header, yet the forward nodded the rebound to karelis, who scored from close range. jeffrey bruma compounded the home disappointment by picking up a second yellow card soon after.
