With two teams on 26 points and on the cusp of the left-hand row, no pep talk will have been needed Friday night. Pep talk or not, Johan Bakayoko made himself heard. With four goals, he single-handedly set the game on fire.

/strong>After climbing the steps of De Koel, Ismael Saibari notched the first shot of the match after only two minutes. Then Simon Colyn had another great chance at the opening goal, but the Canadian pounced on the goalkeeper. Unfortunately, VVV-Venlo's first shot was an instant hit. The following phase was a difficult one, in which the defense was put to work several times. Psv U21 got through it and started to play football again. Johan Bakayoko can play football and he showed that again. The Belgian equalized in the 35th minute with a drive from the edge of the box.

Johan Bakayoko
Ismael Saibari dribbled into the home team's penalty area early in the second half. His action in the penalty area was stopped illegally and so it became a penalty. From eleven yards, Johan Bakayoko signed for his second of the evening and third of the week. So it was on and on, but there it stopped - for a while. Venlo started to push, but thanks to Maxime Delanghe they did not come alongside. Space then for the standout to increase the lead, and how. With a beautiful shot, he left the goalie without a chance for his hat trick. And the young Belgian did not leave it at that. In the end, he stepped off the field with four goals.
