Last week no league for the O13, but a strong international tournament in Grubbenvorst, here we have seen a changing PSV, good games and lesser games, but still a neat 6th place. Today the 2nd league game, the away game to ADO Den Haag, this means for the players getting out of bed early, because the game is already played at 10:30. PSV starts strong, playing the ball around well and choosing the right moment to play the ball into the depth, showing that they can be on the other side of the field in seconds. But after the good start, the inswinging passes become a little more inaccurate, resulting in more ball losses. This creates a fascinating battle in the midfield, where it is constant switching, as both sides have a lot of ball loss. No chances are created. In the 15th minute ADO tries with a distance shot, Kjell manages to stop the ball well but cannot work it to the side sufficiently, allowing ADO to score in the rebound. 2 Minutes later ADO even manages to increase the lead, a corner the far too far comes back in, and is headed in at the 2nd post. What a bummer to be facing a 2-0 deficit within 2 minutes, when nothing seemed wrong. PSV is getting brighter, but also more hurried, and so too many balls keep getting lost. Matteo tried his luck with a long-distance shot, but the ADO goalkeeper was able to stop it. PSV goes to rest with a 2-0 deficit and after the break they will have to be more accurate in ball possession, they lose too much ball.
In the 34th minute a corner, perfect on the head of Thijn, but just 10 cm too high. PSV dominates now, ADO plays more from the reaction, and is short on them, still making too many mistakes and therefore too much ball loss. It is Shijon who reacts to a badly played in ball by the ADO goalkeeper, with character he recovers the ball and immediately goes around the outside. The ADO defender has no choice but to take him down, but well it is inside the 16, so a penalty for PSV. Jesper shoots this flawlessly within 2-1 with 5minutes to play. "PSV does everything they can to equalize but when you throw everything open you can also get a goal against, ADO takes advantage of this and makes it 3-1 in the last minute. And immediately the final signal.
Next week the home game against NAC, a new chance for PSV to show how good they can play football.
