Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: PSV gets underway.
- 5' Olivier Boscagli has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PSV that had 436 games and scored 819 goals.
- 12' A goal from the Netherlands international Pablo Rosario! He fires home on 12 to make it 1-0!
- 17' Joel Asoro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 22' 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.
- 27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 29' That is a Yellow card for FC Groningen. Ajdin Hrustic will be fuming at that decision.
- 34' 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.
- 38' Magnificent from Denzel Dumfries! That is 43 goals in 436 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 43' Mike te Wierik has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 307 appearances.
- 48' With 0 assists to his name this season, Charlison Benschop is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Groningen.
- 53' It looks like no one’s ball. PSV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 58' The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 59' Mohammed Ihattaren gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Donyell Malen and will look to change the dynamic.
- 64' Nick Viergever is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Groningen tonight.
- 69' The 35-year-old Jeroen Zoet has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 70' What a moment for Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist! That strike on 70 puts his side firmly in control.
- 71' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Django Warmerdam is replaced by Mo El Hankouri on 71 minute.
- 76' The energy levels are beginning to show. Danny Buijs might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 79' PSV manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruma is hanging Cody Gakpo on the field on 79 minute.
- 82' Time for substitution for FC Groningen. Azor Matusiwa is replaced by Romano Postema.
- 87' Joel Asoro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bart van Hintum at the 87 minute mark.
- 88' Michal Sadilek is replacing Olivier Boscagli for the PSV side.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for FC Groningen. Romano Postema will be fuming at that decision.
- With this win, PSV is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
