A PSV Eindhoven fan was sentenced to two months in prison on Wednesday after assaulting Seville goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic during a Europa League game last month.
The 20-year-old young man was sentenced to three months in prison, including one month suspended by the District Court of East Brabant.
The game in Eindhoven was interrupted in the closing stages after the fan ran onto the pitch and attacked Dmitrovic, punching him in the face before being tackled to the ground by the Serb.
The man was serving a national stadium ban until 2026 imposed by the Dutch Football Association, but entered the pitch with a ticket bought for him by a friend, PSV said.

It has also been banned from being near the Philips Stadium when PSV play home games for the next two years.
Sevilla lost the second leg of the knockout stage qualifiers 2-0, but progressed to the next round with a 3-2 aggregate win over PSV.
