Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Philips Stadion. PSV are looking to make home advantage count against Heracles Almelo.
- 1' Joey Konings doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 6' Dario Van den Buijs, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 11' Denzel Dumfries has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' That is a Yellow card for Heracles Almelo. Adrian Dalmau will be fuming at that decision.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kristoffer Peterson, as he is very good at scoring at Philips Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. PSV must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 32' What a moment for Wout Droste! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
- 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mark van Bommel will be considering his options from the bench.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Brouwer made 233 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 43' Poor challenge from Pablo Rosario. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 48' Nick Viergever makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and PSV are in front.
- 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 58' Donyell Malen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 25 Yellow cards this season.
- 61' Fresh legs for Heracles Almelo! Brandley Kuwas comes on to replace Silvester van der Water.
- 66' 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.
- 71' Over 71 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 73' PSV make a change. Erick Gutierrez trudges off to be replaced by Jorrit Hendrix on 73 minutes.
- 74' Another change for Heracles Almelo made on 74 minute. Joey Konings leaves to be changed by Kristoffer Peterson.
- 79' 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 Jeroen Zoet suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' PSV make a change. Gaston Pereiro trudges off to be replaced by Cody Gakpo on 80 minutes.
- 85' PSV is showing some good football. However, PSV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 89' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Donyell Malen makes it 2-2.
- 89' PSV manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Trent Sainsbury is hanging Daniel Schwaab on the field on 89 minute.
- Another three points for PSV.
