Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Philips Stadion!
- 5' Said Bakari is a natural right-back and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sparta Rotterdam tonight.
- 8' Magnificent from Metinho! That is 2 goals in 389 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 13' Both keepers have barely been tested. PSV and Sparta Rotterdam are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 18' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 19' GOAL! Said Bakari fires home to make it 0-2!
- 24' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 26' What composure from Johan Bakayoko! The Belgium international strokes it home. 1-2.
- 29' Olivier Boscagli doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Koki Saito made 143 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' Sparta Rotterdam come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 44' PSV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
- 49' The home supporters are growing impatient. PSV must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 54' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tobias Lauritsen, as he is very good at scoring at Philips Stadion with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 57' The supporters are chanting for Shunsuke Mito. He replaces Camiel Neghli on 57 minute.
- 58' PSV ring the changes. Guus Til has done his job and it is now time for Ismael Saibari to step up.
- 63' Andre Ramalho is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sparta Rotterdam so far.
- 67' Tobias Lauritsen was booked on 67.
- 68' Olivier Boscagli makes no mistake. The score reads 3-2 and PSV are in front.
- 73' 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 Jerdy Schouten suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' It is a substitution in PSV team. Luuk de Jong is replaced by Ricardo Pepi on 77 minute.
- 78' Jordan Teze does the damage! The net is bulging and PSV surge ahead!
- 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
- 88' Another substitution for PSV to replace Mauro Junior by Patrick van Aanholt on 88 minute.
- 90' Tijs Velthuis is replacing Mike Eerdhuijzen for the Sparta Rotterdam side.
- The final score is 4-2.
