PSV had the best chances to score in the second half, none more so than when Noni Maduke’s shot was turned onto the post, but they were unable to force the breakthrough.

The hosts got off to a bright start in the fourth minute when Bryan Smeets unleashed an unstoppable shot past goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo due to some shambolic defending by the PSV defenders.

In the 49th minute, England youth inte...
