It snowballed somewhat thanks to Donyell Malen's phenomenal performance, but PSV - Vitesse was also a special match for Jeroen Zoet. The goalkeeper kept his goal clean for the hundredth time in PSV livery.
Crucial
Afterwards, hardly anyone talked about it, but the goalkeeper's save in the first minutes of the match was crucial in an evening that turned into a success for PSV. What would it have looked like if Zoet was not at his post after a few minutes and Vitesse had boldly taken the lead?
81st time
That answer is anyone's guess. The fact is that Zoet was denied a goal for the hundredth time. It was the 81st time in the Eredivisie that he managed to do so. Zoet recently kept his 250th game for PSV. The goalkeeper will be honored for this next week. Against Vitesse he refrained from doing so because of the death of Cees van Merode.
