Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Philips Stadion will turn into a battlefield for PSV and RKC Waalwijk.
  • 5' Eran Zahavi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' RKC Waalwijk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Philips Stadion. PSV seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 23' Donyell Malen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Chukwunonso Madueke at the 23 minute mark.
  • 28' PSV have won 819 goals from 436 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 33' 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 Thijs Oosting suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PSV that had 436 games and scored 819 goals.
  • 43' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both PSV and RKC Waalwijk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 45' Melle Meulensteen picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' What composure from Eran Zahavi! The Israel international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 46' Time for substitution for RKC Waalwijk. Thierry Lutonda is replaced by Luuk Wouters.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' RKC Waalwijk fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 61' Finn Stokkers makes way for Vitalie Damascan at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from RKC Waalwijk.
  • 64' PSV ring the changes. Mauro Junior has done his job and it is now time for Erick Gutierrez to step up.
  • 69' Pablo Rosario is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RKC Waalwijk tonight.
  • 70' Erick Gutierrez catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 70.
  • 70' A change in the RKC Waalwijk ranks — Sylla Sow exits the field as David Min enters on 70.
  • 71' A change in the RKC Waalwijk ranks — Sylla Sow exits the field as David Min enters on 71.
  • 73' Pablo Rosario has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 73 minutes.
  • 74' Adrian Fein gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Eran Zahavi and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' Fresh legs for RKC Waalwijk! Nicolas Elsek comes on to replace James Efmorfidis.
  • 83' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
