After scoring, Dmitrović overpowered the fan, who was quickly surrounded by players from both teams, and then executed as many supporters inside the stadium, who were booed.

PSV won the second leg 2-0 but went down 3-2 on aggregate and are now likely awaiting punishment from UEFA for the fan’s actions.

Former Sevilla player Luuk de Jong scored for PSV in the 77th minute and Fabio Silva made it 2-0 deep in injury time.
