Club Brugge kept up their push to get out of the Champions League's league phase with a battling victory at PSV.

Carlos Forbs struck the winner for the Belgian champions after Kodai Sano's deflected effort had cancelled out Nicolo Tresoldi's first-half opener.

The game burst into life after a slow start as both sides began to find space in attack, with Brugge looking particularly dangerous when moving the ball quickly through the home side's defence.

Tresoldi broke the deadlock after PSV failed to clear a corner, nodding home the opener after the ball was recycled and dinked back into the middle.

It was the striker's fifth Champions League goal of the campaign, continuing his impressive scoring form.

Forbs had several opportunities to extend Brugge's advantage before the break, while Sergino Dest proved PSV's greatest attacking threat as he made dangerous runs and forced Yann Sommer into a couple of good saves.

The Dutch side found a way back when Brugge failed to clear a low cross from Lutsharel Geertruida, allowing Sano to collect the loose ball and fire an effort which took a significant deflection before curling inside the far post.

But the Belgians got back in front with a superb counter-attack as Joaquin Seys won possession on the edge of his own penalty area and released Forbs, who raced through on goal before calmly slotting into the far corner.

PSV travel to Real Madrid in their next Champions League fixture on 24 November (20:00 GMT), while Club Brugge host Liverpool the following evening (20:00 GMT).
