Young PSV is no longer unbeaten in the Jupiler League. The front runner and winner of the first period title lost 1-0 to Almere City FC on Friday night in Almere. Deep in the second half, Leandro Fernandes (16) made his debut in professional football.
Jansen and Lammers honored
Shortly before the game, coach Pascal Jansen and striker Sam Lammers received their Bronze Bull(s) for good performance in the first period. The award did not immediately inspire Young PSV before halftime. Although the team had a field advantage, clear-cut chances were scarce. The biggest was for Almere City in the first half. Mac-Donald headed wide via the post after about ten minutes. Lammers was the most dangerous at the other end, but his header also missed the target.

Jurjus Goalless
After halftime, the initiative lay with Almere City. The home team put more pressure on Young PSV from the start and saw that approach to play rewarded in the 58th minute. Arica shot the ball after a rehearsed free kick via the underside of the crossbar behind the chance-less Jurjus. The reply from Young PSV took a long time to come. Until ten minutes before time to be precise. It was Verreth who had the chance to equalize, but his header in front of the empty goal went over. Even rookie Leandro Fernandes could not prevent defeat. He replaced Rommens eight minutes before time.
