Atletico Madrid came through a tense penalty shoot-out to advance past PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League last-16 encounter.
Following a goalless draw in Holland last month, neither side could find a way through in an entertaining 120 minutes at the Vicente Calderon either, although Jurgen Locadia and Fernando Torres both hit the post at either end in an open contest.
Players from both teams managed to find the net with regularity during the spot-kicks, though, until PSV substitute Luciano Narsingh rattled the 15th attempt against the crossbar, allowing Juanfran to convert his penalty and send the 2014 finalists through.
Players from both sides then kept their nerve in the shoot-out, including Torres, Gimenez and Filipe Luis, all of whom were in sudden-death situations.
Narsingh was the first to slip up when his effort crashed against the frame of the goal and Juanfran rolled in the decisive spot-kick to send Atletico through.
