Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. PSV is hosting FC Groningen for another epic battle.
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Teze made 436 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' FC Groningen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' FC Groningen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 27' FC Groningen make a change. Gabriel Gudmundsson trudges off to be replaced by Alessio Da Cruz on 27 minutes.
- 32' Philipp Max has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 37' 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 Mike te Wierik suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Daniel van Kaam is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Groningen so far.
- 46' A change in the PSV ranks — Nick Viergever exits the field as Pablo Rosario enters on 46.
- 51' Olivier Boscagli is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Groningen tonight.
- 56' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His PSV side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 59' Mike te Wierik was booked on 59.
- 62' That is a Yellow card for FC Groningen. Wessel Dammers will be fuming at that decision.
- 64' What a strike from Eran Zahavi! The score is 1-0.
- 69' FC Groningen is showing some good football. However, FC Groningen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 72' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Denzel Dumfries on 72 minutes.
- 76' Alessio Da Cruz has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 76.
- 81' Ahmed El Messaoudi makes way for Patrick Joosten at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Groningen.
- 82' Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist gets the nod from FC Groningen. He replaces Tomas Suslov and will look to change the dynamic.
- 83' Mohammed Ihattaren gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Mario Gotze and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 89' A tactical swap from FC Groningen — Paulos Abraham on, Mo El Hankouri off on 89 minutes.
- 90' The crowd applauds Cody Gakpo as he leaves the pitch. Marco van Ginkel steps in for PSV.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for PSV players.
