Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Philips Stadion!
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' Ritsu Doan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' Bart van Rooij has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 188 appearances.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. PSV and NEC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 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 Yvon Mvogo suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' Ritsu Doan doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 31' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 36' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Erick Gutierrez makes it 2-0.
- 41' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 46' A change in the PSV ranks — Noni Madueke exits the field as Bruma enters on 46.
- 51' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Noni Madueke has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' Javier Vet is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dirk Proper at the 55 minute mark.
- 60' NEC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 61' Goal! Eran Zahavi scores his 34 goal in 451 matches.
- 66' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mikkel Duelund makes no mistake. 3-1!
- 69' NEC make a change. Elayis Tavsan trudges off to be replaced by Ilias Bronkhorst on 69 minutes.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Maximiliano Romero. He replaces Eran Zahavi on 70 minute.
- 72' What a strike from Jonathan Okita! The score is 3-2.
- 73' Jonathan Okita has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 73 minutes.
- 78' Netherlands international Ibrahim Cissoko has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 83' 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.
- 88' The PSV bench stirs into life. Ritsu Doan is withdrawn and Richard Ledezma gets his opportunity.
- 90' PSV make a change. Cody Gakpo trudges off to be replaced by Johan Bakayoko on 90 minutes.
- PSV celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
