Sporting's Braganca strikes late to rescue 1-1 draw at PSV

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands :Portuguese champions Sporting rescued a 1-1 draw at PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Tuesday after substitute Daniel Braganca cancelled out midfielder Jerdy Schouten's first-half opener for the home side.

Dominant PSV wasted a host of chances and have one point from two games after they lost 3-1 at Juventus on the opening matchday.

The home side took charge early on and Schouten gave them the lead in the 15th minute, netting with a stunning shot from distance inside the left post for his first European goal.

The Dutch champions looked comfortable throughout the first half, keeping more possession and defending high up, preventing the visitors from creating any danger near their goal.

Peter Bosz's side continued to control the encounter after the break and Luuk de Jong, brilliant on the night, should have doubled the lead in the 55th minute.

The PSV captain received a neat pass on the edge of the box and flicked it over his head to strike just wide from near the penalty spot.

PSV then stormed Sporting's goal again and goalkeeper Franco Israel had to show sharp reflexes to deny Noa Lang from point-blank range before keeping out the follow-up from Guus Til.

Sporting, who are making their third appearance in the Champions League in four seasons, looked helpless against the confident PSV side and struggled to create clear chances.

But Braganca levelled against the run of play in the 84th minute, sending an excellent volley into the roof of the net after he was set up with a cross by Maximiliano Araujo.
