Rostov 2-2 PSV: Poloz hits twice in enthralling draw

PSV Eindhoven's poor run against Russian sides continued as they were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw by Rostov in the Champions League.

Phillip Cocu's team came into Wednesday's encounter at Olimp-2 Stadium having failed to claim a victory from their previous four matches on Russian soil in European competition.

And the Eredivisie champions looked unlikely to buck that trend when they fell behind to Dmitry Poloz's early strike, though they pulled level courtesy of Davy Propper's deflected shot.

Rostov built on the lively opening, Poloz again on target as Ivan Danilyants' side restored their advantage, only for Luuk de Jong to cancel it out in first-half stoppage time.

PSV were much improved in the second half, Propper seeing a penalty saved by Soslan Dzhanaev before being denied by the woodwork, but Rostov held firm to secure a vital point in Group D.
