"Where shall I begin?" began fellow reporter Ank last game. "How can I start this?" Is more my question today. For you see it well, the D2 have lost yet again. In itself nothing to get immediately worried about, were it not for the fact that with many the eyes have opened a bit about the level of our series. Spijkenisse is in another series (written with all due respect) at the bottom between big names such as Ajax, AZ, Feyenoord, Utrecht... in itself a series with a bit more BVO's than we have. Was this a case of underestimation? Knowing Bastiaan, he must have warned his top players. The line-up will also have something to do with this. I had heard something flying from one to one. But otherwise I can't put all the details up for grabs of course. The surprise effect towards next match would be completely gone.

You could see from the visitors at least the respect for the home team, but they had left the fear in Spijkenisse. Cody was the most dangerous man in the beginning, he could threaten through some shots and actions. He was even past the goalkeeper in one phase, but the finishing alone was lacking. Jordan also strolled through the heart of the defense but he too could not score. James' pass to Robin and his chest control and perfect pass to Cody was tasty food again. Lars launching Amar with a dash was also beautiful, only Amar pushed the ball a little too far in front of him and even he, could not catch up with the leather.
Spijkenisse for their part could also be dangerous through quick combinations and quiet phases. The free kick in the 14 minute was an example of that, the shot went narrowly over. In the same minute a dropped ball came into the feet of a visitor, the shot from just outside the sixteen meters licked the crossbar and fell in behind Pepijn. 0-1. Nice goal.

When Amar is sent deep, the linesman reacts resolutely but the referee lets the ball continue. I don't know if this was the right decision. The fact is that Amar was much quicker than the linesman... Amar with the overview to Cody, who has to tap in. 1-1
Occasion player Davy Van Den Berg, replacing the injured Justin, hit the crossbar. Nice inputs from the D3 player. As for Justin, he would be back next week. And he should be. The least we can say of today is that we had another real game. No towering scores, but just an exciting game.

Half-time score 1-1

After halftime, the first chance is for PSV with key players Amar and Cody, but Cody doesn't get past the well-running goalkeeper. The second half was of a significantly lower level than the first, it was mainly the battle in midfield that had to be won, and there the two teams were evenly matched. They fought for every meter. It was waiting until the 21st minute for a dangerous phase, and again it was at a dead ball for Spijkenisse. A corner kick was kicked up to the second post and headed back to the first, and just at that spot a visitor stood all alone to tap in. 1-2. That also became the final score.

OK, Loss. But no PSV player is going to shed a tear for that, I don't think. Next game the knives will be sharpened again and the opponent will be the child of the bill! I think?
