Trabzonspor's slow start haunts them in the end

Turkish side Trabzonspor went down early in the first 12 minutes against PSV Eindhoven due to strikes by Tim Matavs and Ola Toivonen. Olcan Adin struck a consolation after the half hour mark but couldn't find the equalizer for the rest of the game.

Burak Yilmaz missed a golden chance watching his blast slice past the far post midway through the second half.

Trabzon controlled possession throughout the second half but PSV's defense held firm for the 2-1 away victory.

The Black Sea based side travel to Holland for the second leg in one week's time needing two goals in order to advance to the round of 16.
