The fan who jumped onto the pitch in the final moments of PSV-Sevilla in the Europa League and punched goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic in the face was today sentenced to two months in prison with immediate effect by the Dutch courts and a further month suspended -hold in case of recidivism. When he is released from prison, he will be on probation for two years, during which he will not be able to go near the PSV stadium.
Identified as Dylano K. and aged 20, the fan in question was found guilty of assaulting the player and breaching the ban on going to a stadium imposed on him by the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB). The ban on access to the area around the PSV stadium also weighed on him.
A ‘hooligan’ with a record
After the game, played on February 23, the prosecution revealed that Dylano K. had two previous convictions for soccer-related crimes in 2021 and that when he jumped onto the pitch he was under the influence of alcohol with a level of 1, 6 in the blood.
In its statement, the court revealed that the ‘hooligan’ obtained the ticket for PSV-Sevilla through a friend. In passing the sentence, the judge also took into account the fact that Dylano K. was fired from his job after the incident and expelled from his fan club.
UEFA may punish PSV
UEFA opened a disciplinary file against PSV after the game, which could be punished despite the fact that it strongly condemned the incident in which Dmitrovic was not hurt, despite the attack, and he knocked down the ‘hooligan’ himself before reducing it and arresting it. . PSV won the second leg of the Europa League playoff 2-0 but Sevilla qualified thanks to a 3-0 first leg.
