PSV captain Mauro Junior has taken responsibility for one of the goals his team conceded in its loss to RB Leipzig, according to De Telegraaf. The Dutch club fell to a narrow defeat in what multiple outlets described as an entertaining match in Leipzig.
De Telegraaf reports that the captain acknowledged his role in the goal after the final whistle. Further details of his comments were not available in the source material.
The result left PSV reflecting on a game several outlets felt could have gone differently. NU reported that the match may prove a turning point for PSV, quoting the view that the team was the better side for an hour. AD.nl wrote that PSV paid the price for a miss by Ivan Perisic, while NOS noted that PSV also missed a penalty against Leipzig.
German media took a positive view of the contest despite the Dutch side's defeat, with De Telegraaf reporting that they described it as a fantastic game and said coach Peter Bosz has a wealth of talent at his disposal.
The loss adds to the pressure on PSV's European campaign, though the reported assessments suggest the performance drew respect from the opposing side's press.
What to watch next is how PSV responds in its following fixture and whether the captain's public accountability sets the tone for the squad.
