Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Philips Stadion that hosts another battle between PSV and Sparta Rotterdam.
- 5' 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 Joey Veerman suffering a number of foals already.
- 8' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Metinho makes it 0-1.
- 13' Sparta Rotterdam come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 18' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 19' The Comoros right-back Said Bakari breaks the deadlock on 19 minutes. 0-2!
- 24' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Jerdy Schouten has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 26' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Johan Bakayoko makes it 1-2.
- 29' What a moment for Olivier Boscagli! That strike on 29 puts his side firmly in control.
- 34' The 31-year-old Nick Olij has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 39' PSV are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 44' It looks like no one’s ball. PSV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 49' PSV are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Sparta Rotterdam's 4-3-3 shape.
- 54' The travelling Sparta Rotterdam supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 57' Sparta Rotterdam ring the changes. Camiel Neghli has done his job and it is now time for Shunsuke Mito to step up.
- 58' Ismael Saibari is replacing Guus Til for the PSV side.
- 63' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 67' The referee shows Sparta Rotterdam player a card on 67.
- 68' What composure from Olivier Boscagli! The France international strokes it home. 3-2.
- 73' Pelle Clement, a Netherlands midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 77' Luuk de Jong makes way for Ricardo Pepi at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from PSV.
- 78' A goal from the Netherlands international Jordan Teze! He fires home on 78 to make it 4-2!
- 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tobias Lauritsen made 242 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 88' A change in the PSV ranks — Mauro Junior exits the field as Patrick van Aanholt enters on 88.
- 90' Another substitution for Sparta Rotterdam to replace Mike Eerdhuijzen by Tijs Velthuis on 90 minute.
