sport">At the end of the first half, Noni Madueke first retired. In the second half, captain Denzel Dumfries and Eran Zahavi (the replacement of Madueke) also had to leave injured.
sport">Dumfries’ injury seems to be not that bad at first sight. The defender ran afterwards, albeit somewhat laboriously, to his fellow players to celebrate the qualification.
Donyell Malen
sport">Donyell Malen did not realize until late after the match that PSV had qualified for the next round. “Someone said to me that PAOK had lost to Omonia,” said the striker, who scored the goal shortly before half time.

sport">“It is a very beautiful evening. We worked very hard and luckily we won ”, Malen continued RTL7. “The first half was good. The second half was a completely different match. We fought hard and were on our last legs. ”
sport">Granada had a hard time with PSV’s game for a long time. Malen: „We kept the ball well in the team. We knew they were holding the middle and we had to create danger from the sides. ” That also happened. After a nice attack, via Olivier Boscagli and Philipp Max, Malen worked the ball in.

Roger Schmidt
sport">PSV coach Roger Schmidt received a lot of criticism on Sunday when he gave a large part of his basic team rest in the league match against Sparta Rotterdam. It narrowly ended well, due to a few late changes and a penalty kick: 1-0.
sport">Schmidt was somewhat equal on Thursday when PSV won 1-0 at Granada in the Europa League and qualified for the next round thanks to a defeat by PAOK Saloniki at Omonia Nicosia (2-1).
sport">“It was a big fight and not an easy game for us,” Schmidt told RTL7. “From the start we showed that we wanted to win in order to keep everything in our own hands. We played very well, especially in possession. It was very organized. We kept Granada far from our goal. ”
