Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Erve Asito. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' A goal from the Belgium international Brian De Keersmaecker! He fires home on 5 to make it 1-0!
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel van Kaam made 319 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Heracles Almelo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 30' It looks surprising PSV does not make any changes. Mimeirhel Benita has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' Bryan Limbombe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 327 appearances.
- 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 45' PSV are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 46' Guus Til gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Malik Tillman and will look to change the dynamic.
- 51' Heracles Almelo are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against PSV's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 52' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ivan Mesik makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 57' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PSV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 63' Lorenzo Milani has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ruben Roosken on 63 minute.

- 69' A tactical swap from PSV — Hirving Lozano on, Johan Bakayoko off on 69 minutes.
- 73' PSV make a change. Richie Ledezma trudges off to be replaced by Jordan Teze on 73 minutes.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ryan Flamingo suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 85' Time for substitution for Heracles Almelo. Mimeirhel Benita is replaced by Giandro Sambo.
