Roberto Carlos' Fenerbahce were on top for much of last night's Champions League encounter at the Philipps Stadion, but they couldn't manage the breakthrough needed to gain the three points.
That said, the Turks went down to ten men midway through the second half, but even with that disadvantage, PSV seldom looked like winning themselves.
Roberto Carlos, the Brazilian full-back, declared himself pleased enough with the eventual outcome.
He told UEFA.com, "We are happy with the point. I think we can do even better in Istanbul, and I am confident that we can reach the next round."
PSV substitute Danny Koevermans, meanwhile, praised Carlos and company for their rock-solid defending, but also rued his own side's lack of invention.
"Even against 10 men we couldn't force an opening," he panted.
"It will be even more difficult in Istanbul. We have to create more chances, but that's easier said than done. They are a very well-organised side, much stronger than when I played against them last year for AZ Alkmaar."
Dirk Marcellis, meanwhile, played admirably well despite this match signalling only his second full game for PSV.
He beamed, "The boss told me I would be playing in order to counter the threat of Deivid, and obviously I was happy to get the chance. I was reasonably happy with my own performance, but overall we're disappointed that we didn't create more."
Fenerbahce sit one point behind Inter at the top of Group G, while PSV trail them with four points from a potential nine.

PSV Eindhoven have been handed an untimely blow with the news that defender Manuel Da Costa has been ruled out through injury.
The former Portugal Under-21 international will now miss the Dutch club's trip to the Giuseppe Meazza to face Inter on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.
The Dutch champions' manager Ronald Koeman has been forced to bring in Brazilian defender Fagner in Da Costa's place.
PSV currently sit atop Group G following their 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the first round of matches.
Inter remain favourites to beat the Eredivisie side and finish top though, despite a shock 1-0 loss to Fenerbahce their opening game of the group stage.
Da Costa was at the centre of controversy last week when PSV were expelled from The Dutch Cup for fielding him ineligibly after it was revealed he had played against Heerenveen in the competition despite being suspended for the game.
