Events
Match Events

- 5' Ismael Saibari has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 5 minutes.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Almere City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 22' What composure from Johan Bakayoko! The Belgium international strokes it home. 2-0.
- 26' Noa Lang does the damage! The net is bulging and PSV surge ahead!
- 31' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 36' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 41' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Malik Tillman makes it 4-0.
- 46' It is a substitution in Almere City FC team. Thom Haye is replaced by Anas Tahiri on 46 minute.
- 51' Anas Tahiri has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 197 appearances.
- 56' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PSV and Almere City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
