Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. FC Utrecht get us underway at Philips Stadion.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' Joey Veerman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 15' FC Utrecht fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' Mike van der Hoorn, a Netherlands centre-back, has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 25' 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 Patrick van Aanholt suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 329 games and scored 454 goals.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 41' The FC Utrecht bench stirs into life. Taylor Booth is withdrawn and Marouan Azarkan gets his opportunity.
- 46' Isaac Babadi makes way for Ismael Saibari at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from PSV.
- 47' Mike van der Hoorn picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 48' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Andre Ramalho.
- 48' Noa Lang makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and PSV are in front.
- 49' Magnificent from Noa Lang! That is 56 goals in 492 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 54' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jordan Teze.
- 60' 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.
- 65' It looks surprising PSV does not make any changes. Modibo Sagnan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 67' Fresh legs for FC Utrecht! Zakaria Labyad comes on to replace Victor Jensen.
- 68' PSV ring the changes. Noa Lang has done his job and it is now time for Yorbe Vertessen to step up.

- 77' Against the run of play, Yorbe Vertessen has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 82' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 83' Another substitution for FC Utrecht to replace Jens Toornstra by Anthony Descotte on 83 minute.
- 84' PSV manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Guus Til is hanging Johan Bakayoko on the field on 84 minute.
- 89' Supporters expect more eagerness from Can Bozdogan, as he is very good at scoring at Philips Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 90' The PSV bench stirs into life. Joey Veerman is withdrawn and Tygo Land gets his opportunity.
- With this win, PSV is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
