"Moroccan forward Ismail Saibari was one of a few bright spots for PSV Eindhoven, scoring their only goal to make it 1-1 at the 78th minute. Had the scoreline held, they would have gone through to the qualifying round. Saibari looked the liveliest out of the entire PSV attack, and was ready to pounce on a Harry Kane giveaway in Bayern's half. His goal featured a shot so spectacular, Jonas Urbig didn't even have a chance."
"Jonathan Tah had a quiet game, which is a good thing for a center-back. It means he had a near flawless game without any mistakes. Yes, he was caught out on the Saibari goal, but that was down to the nature of the giveaway - there wasn't much Tah could have done to intervene. The rest of the time, he was exactly where he needed to be, backing up Ito on the left side or running interference for Upamecano."
Bayern Munich fielded a heavily rotated side against PSV Eindhoven in the final Champions League group game and secured a narrow win. The result guaranteed second place and a seeded knockout position for Vincent Kompany's team. PSV arguably dominated the first half and nearly advanced after Ismail Saibari's spectacular 78th-minute equaliser, which capitalised on a Harry Kane giveaway. Jonathan Tah delivered a composed defensive performance, largely error-free aside from the goal concession. Tom Bischof operated inverted from right-back into midfield, producing a lively, proactive display with tackles and defence-splitting passes that released teammates on penetrating runs.
