Fast, explosive and goal-oriented; Yorbe Vertessen showed his command of all three qualities with his opening goal against FC Twente. In the cup game with the Tukkers, the striker was particularly efficient with the ball at his feet, and he also made few mistakes defensively. He was voted MOTM for the second time this season.
Ball possession through interception
With his goal and several pass combinations, his part up front was clear, but defensively the outfielder also stood his ground. The Belgian managed to gain possession of the ball twice through a duel. In addition, he did so three times through an interception. He won 100% of the defensive duels he entered into and did not commit a single foul, a fine statistic.
Goal attempts
When Yorbe receives the ball in the 19th minute, his eyes are directly on the goal. He plays Luuk de Jong in, accelerates, gets the ball back from his captain and takes a devastating shot. With a brilliant goal from outside the 16-meter area, he shoots PSV to 1-0. He took the Twente goal under fire no less than four times, together with Guus Til the highest number of the PSV selection. In addition, he was threatening twice with a cross.
Offensive duels won
That the lightning-fast right-winger created a threat is underlined by the number of offensive duels he won. He entered five and won 60% of them. Only Sergiño Dest (seven), Malik Tillman and Luuk de Jong (11) did better, but they were in the field longer. He was substituted in minute 74.
