Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. PSV kicks off things out of here…
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 12' Magnificent from Luuk de Jong! That is 135 goals in 449 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 17' Over 17 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 22' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PSV and Racing Club de Lens are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 27' Racing Club de Lens come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

- 37' Przemyslaw Frankowski is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for PSV so far.
- 38' Hirving Lozano catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 38.
- 42' Racing Club de Lens receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 42.
- 43' Kevin Danso was booked on 43.
- 45' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sepe Elye Wahi.
- 50' 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 Walter Benitez suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jonathan Gradit.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Facundo Medina on 53 minutes.

- 76' Racing Club de Lens are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 78' Morgan Guilavogui is ready to make an impact after coming on for Przemyslaw Frankowski at the 78 minute mark.
- 82' Morgan Guilavogui has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 82.
- 82' Racing Club de Lens manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Wesley Said is hanging Sepe Elye Wahi on the field on 82 minute.
- 87' Nampalys Mendy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 365 appearances.
- 90' PSV ring the changes. Luuk de Jong has done his job and it is now time for Ricardo Pepi to step up.
- 90' That is a Red card for Racing Club de Lens. Morgan Guilavogui will be fuming at that decision.
