The on-field skirmish involving Sevilla Dmitrovic and a pitch invader came near the end of the game, which PSV won 2-0 but suffered a 3-2 aggregate elimination against its LaLiga opponent.
Dmitrovic pinned down the pitch invader and held him to the ground before security arrived to escort him away.
UEFA is understood to have opened a case after the incident, which has been condemned by PSV, which said the fan should not have been in the stadium in the first place.
The Dutch club said in a statement: “PSV strongly condemn the incident on Thursday evening when a man invaded the pitch and confronted the goalkeeper. The person involved had already been handed a stadium ban.”
PSV general manager Marcel Brands said: “This is not what we stand for at PSV. We feel ashamed and there is no place for that type of behaviour.
“We will consult the organisations involved to discuss how we can enforce stadium bans better, hopefully through reporting obligations. All PSV supporter organisations, who cheered on their team last night, unanimously and explicitly distance themselves from this disgraceful pitch invasion.”
PSV said it would “await the investigations into the pitch invader made by the police and look to recover any financial damages”.
