Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion!
- 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 Pablo Rosario suffering a number of foals already.
- 8' Steven Bergwijn has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 8 minutes.
- 13' SBV Excelsior currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 18' PSV is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 23' Cody Gakpo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SBV Excelsior so far.
- 24' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Hirving Lozano on 24 minutes.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dennis Eckert made 336 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
- 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 44' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 49' Denzel Dumfries has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 54' A goal from the Netherlands international Steven Bergwijn! He fires home on 54 to make it 0-2!
- 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 64' PSV has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 69' Over 69 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 72' The whistle greets Ali Messaoud as he departs to be replaced by Mikael Anderson.
- 76' The whistle greets Mohammed Ihattaren as he departs to be replaced by Cody Gakpo.
- 81' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with PSV winning 100% of all matches.
- 86' A quiet spell here at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. PSV seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 87' PSV ring the changes. Hirving Lozano has done his job and it is now time for Donyell Malen to step up.
- 90' Elias Mar Omarsson gets the nod from SBV Excelsior. He replaces Dennis Eckert and will look to change the dynamic.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
