The match in Eindhoven was halted during the
closing stages after the supporter ran on to the pitch and
assaulted Dmitrovic, punching him in the face before being
wrestled to the ground by the Serbian goalkeeper.
The 20-year-old supporter was handed a three-month prison
sentence, with one month suspended by the East Brabant District
Court.
"In addition to the forty-year stadium ban, PSV will initiate
proceedings to recover any damages the club incurs from him,"
the Eredivisie side said in a statement.
"He has also received a two-year area ban around the Philips
Stadium from the Public Prosecutor's Office.
"At the time, due to a stadium ban for previous misconduct, he
should not have been present at all."
The man was already serving a national stadium ban until 2026
imposed by the Dutch football association, but PSV said he had
entered the ground with a ticket bought by a friend.
Sevilla lost the game 2-0 but advanced to the next round with a
3-2 aggregate score. The record six-times winners of the
competition face Manchester United in the quarter-finals next
month.
