Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Philips Stadion. PSV are looking to make home advantage count against Heracles Almelo.
- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 9' Magnificent from Donyell Malen! That is 125 goals in 452 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 14' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Frank Wormuth will be considering his options from the bench.
- 19' 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 Luca de la Torre suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Denzel Dumfries adds to his 0 season tally! PSV lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 26' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PSV and Heracles Almelo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 31' Heracles Almelo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 36' Heracles Almelo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 36.

- 51' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 59' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Eran Zahavi.
- 64' Rai Vloet has been relatively quiet despite scoring 27 goals in his last 244 appearances.
- 65' Heracles Almelo make a change. Luca de la Torre trudges off to be replaced by Teun Bijleveld on 65 minutes.
- 66' It is a substitution in PSV team. Cody Gakpo is replaced by Marco van Ginkel on 66 minute.
- 71' Giacomo Quagliata catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
