  • 5' Ruben van Bommel doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' Sergino Dest is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for PSV tonight.
  • 20' PSV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' Mario Dominguez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 428 appearances.
  • 35' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ricardo Pepi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SBV Excelsior.

  • 46' Another change for SBV Excelsior made on 46 minute. Aymen Sliti leaves to be changed by Nolan Martens.
