The Report

Today the home game against Ajax is on the program. In order to stay in the game, the three points must be taken, especially after last week's unnecessary point loss against N.E.C.

PSV starts sharp and puts Ajax under pressure from the whistle, forcing the guests to make mistakes at the back. That, in turn, is where PSV's chances lie. It is a match you hope for every week, full of passion and fight and also with good football. Just before half-time the liberating and deserved opening goal comes. From a free kick by Michal, Joel headed the ball in: 1-0. With that score, both teams went into halftime.

Ajax goes in search of the equalizer after the resumption, attacks follow back and forth, at a rapid pace. Ajax hit the post twice, but they came no closer to scoring. PSV also gets a number of opportunities to close out the match, but their sights are no longer set. After three minutes of added time, the referee put an end to the match and we can speak of a deserved victory in the champions' pool. The standard has been set, this will be asked of Geert Brusselers' team every week.
