Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. PSV host FC Utrecht — let the battle begin!
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Isaac Babadi, as he is very good at scoring at Philips Stadion with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 10' It is a cagey affair so far. PSV in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past FC Utrecht's compact 4-3-3.
- 15' Hidde ter Avest, a Netherlands defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. PSV and FC Utrecht are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' 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 Jens Toornstra suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' FC Utrecht fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 40' PSV are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Utrecht backline.
- 41' FC Utrecht make a change. Taylor Booth trudges off to be replaced by Marouan Azarkan on 41 minutes.
- 46' The PSV bench stirs into life. Isaac Babadi is withdrawn and Ismael Saibari gets his opportunity.
- 47' Mike van der Hoorn picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 48' Andre Ramalho is having his name booked by the referee on 48.
- 48' GOAL! Noa Lang fires home to make it 1-0!
- 49' Goal! Noa Lang scores his 55 goal in 484 matches.
- 54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
- 55' A moment of madness from Jordan Teze on 55 minutes earns him a Yellow card. PSV will be frustrated.
- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Olivier Boscagli made 445 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' PSV have won 836 goals from 441 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 67' Fresh legs for FC Utrecht! Zakaria Labyad comes on to replace Victor Jensen.
- 68' The PSV manager makes a substitution. Noa Lang departs to be replaced by Yorbe Vertessen.
- 73' The travelling FC Utrecht supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 77' Yorbe Vertessen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 77 minutes.
- 82' Walter Benitez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for PSV tonight.
- 83' FC Utrecht make a change. Jens Toornstra trudges off to be replaced by Anthony Descotte on 83 minutes.
- 84' Guus Til gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Johan Bakayoko and will look to change the dynamic.
- 89' PSV is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Tygo Land. He replaces Joey Veerman on 90 minute.
- It finishes all square. PSV and FC Utrecht share the spoils 2-0.
