With only thirteen players, including two goalkeepers, the bus left for Maastricht for the game against MVV.
Although MVV is in the bottom of the league table, it will not be an easy game. The number of goals against shows that scoring against MVV is not easy.
From the first moment it is clear that PSV is the better team, but also that it will not be easy.
Still, PSV quickly takes the lead. When the MVV goalie tries to pass the ball to his central defender, Dani is alert and intercepts the ball to make it 0-1.
We were not able to create real chances because we were looking too much for our own actions, while we should be looking more for the combinations.
MVV were mainly looking for long balls forward and could not make it difficult for PSV and it took until the 25th minute before they became dangerous. From a free kick from midfield the ball was headed onto the bar, and the rebound effort had to be dived out of the corner by Victor.
Still in the last minute before halftime, PSV was able to extend the lead. From the left side PSV was allowed to take a free kick that was headed in at the second post by Mees. Unfortunately for him the ball hit the inside of the post, but Yorbe was ready to tap it in for the 0-2. It almost became 0-3 itself when Jeremy put the ball on the crossbar in the same minute.
PSV maintained control of the game in the second half, but were fortunate to have MVV aim the ball at the post in front of an empty goal at their only chance. A few minutes later, PSV had to make a change. Because they had already made one substitution, goalkeeper Jurre had to be deployed as a field player. It would not be his fault, because he was already in the field before the coach had said that he could enter. Of course he was allowed to play in the striker position. There he can do the least harm, but he is not even 10 seconds in the field when he is only 1 centimeter short of making himself immortal. Even after that he is still doing well, and although the whole team had faith in him, he is better at keeping free kicks out than shooting them in.
How a free kick should be taken Damian showed in the 30th minute. He curled a free kick in towards goal, the goalkeeper was just able to stop the ball at first, but Dani was alert again and tapped in the 0-3. In the remaining minutes PSV went in search of another goal. Yorbe hit the bar, and the 0-4 finally came from Jochem. From a corner he got the ball at his feet, and from the turn he shot in. This was also the end of the match.
