- 10' The travelling PSV supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Stijn van Gassel made 146 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' 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.
- 25' PSV have won 845 goals from 447 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 35' Joey Veerman has been relatively quiet despite scoring 38 goals in his last 378 appearances.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PSV that had 447 games and scored 845 goals.

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

- 56' Magnificent from Ricardo Pepi! That is 60 goals in 295 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 61' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 62' PSV make a change. Ruben van Bommel trudges off to be replaced by Amir Bouhamdi on 62 minutes.
- 63' The PSV bench stirs into life. Paul Wanner is withdrawn and Kodai Sano gets his opportunity.
- 68' Both keepers have barely been tested. SBV Excelsior and PSV are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 84' The crowd applauds Ricardo Pepi as he leaves the pitch. Sven Mijnans steps in for PSV.
- 88' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jan Plug on 88 minutes.
- 89' Another change for PSV made on 89 minute. Sergino Dest leaves to be changed by Kiliann Sildillia.
