The PSV fan who attacked Sevilla's goalkeeper has been sentenced to prison.
The fan who attacked Sevilla's goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic in the game between Sevilla and PSV has been sentenced to three months in prison.
Dmitrovic started in goal for Sevilla in the second-leg of their Europa League play-off match against PSV and was attacked by a member of the home fans at the end of the game.
Court sentences fan
This Wednesday, a Dutch court sentenced the fan who attacked Dmitrovic to three months in prison, according to Relevo.
The violent attacker is also reported to have received a two-year suspension from the Philips Stadion. However, the erring fan was previously sanctioned from entering the stadium, meaning he entered the stadium illegally to perpetrate the ill-advised act.
He is said to have been drunk on the night and during his attack on the Sevilla goalkeeper. The now-charged offender faces extra jeopardy as he has been fired from his job and evicted from the PSV supporters club, which he was a member of.
The attack on Dmitrovic
Sevilla beat PSV convincingly in the first-leg of their tie at the Sanchez Pizjuan, taking a 3-0 advantage into the second-leg.
PSV fought gallantly in the second leg, but the deficit they suffered in the first-leg proved to be too much. Luuk de Jong and Fabio Silva fired late in the game to give PSV a two-goal lead, but they could not manage the third before the end of the game.
As previously reported in detail here, after the game, Dmitrovic was the victim of an attack from a PSV fan; however, the goalkeeper managed to subdue his attacker and restrain him.
