Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for PSV to score. At the same time, Almere City FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Ismael Saibari puts PSV on the lead.
- 10' Malik Tillman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 55 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Olivier Boscagli, as he is very good at scoring at Philips Stadion with 7 goals in the last 6 games.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Walter Benitez made 440 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 22' What a strike from Johan Bakayoko! The score is 2-0.
- 26' What a strike from Noa Lang! The score is 3-0.
- 31' PSV is showing some good football. However, PSV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 36' It looks surprising PSV does not make any changes. Alex Balboa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 41' What a strike from Malik Tillman! The score is 4-0.
- 46' Anas Tahiri has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thom Haye on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 56' 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.
- 61' 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 Hamdi Akujobi suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' Guus Til is replacing Malik Tillman for the PSV side.
- 64' Time for substitution for PSV. Ryan Flamingo is replaced by Adamo Nagalo.
- 68' Goal! Ismael Saibari scores his 25 goal in 316 matches.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PSV that had 434 games and scored 810 goals.
- 74' The supporters are chanting for Couhaib Driouech. He replaces Noa Lang on 74 minute.
- 75' Almere City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alex Balboa is hanging Tim Receveur on the field on 75 minute.
- 76' Time for substitution for Almere City FC. Kornelius Hansen is replaced by Adi Nalic.
- 81' PSV seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 85' The whistle greets Ismael Saibari as he departs to be replaced by Isaac Babadi.
- 90' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for PSV players.
