Lightning start
Roda JCDThe home team started the match with a lightning start. Within the first ten minutes came the opening goal. From close range a shot could be taken towards Maxime Delanghe's goal for the 1-0. Roda JC determined the attacking tempo in the opening phase and the Eindhoveners mainly looked for opportunities in the transition. From a switch it was precisely Roda JC who managed to double the lead. After a quick attack, a low and focused pass was sent in, again leaving Delanghe with no chance. With a clever pass Jeremy Antonisse seemed to be able to do something back, but the offside player was flagged for offside. Young PSV took back the initiative for a moment and it was almost a goal away. From close range Antonisse was able to shoot from a difficult angle but the ball went just wide of the goal. Damian Timan was close to the rebound but was unable to tap in. Shurandy Sambo also hit a good cross, but it went just over the head of Fode Fofana and into the hands of Roda goalkeeper Hoekstra. Just before halftime Fofana was dangerous again. After a good build-up, the striker cleverly got free in front of the goal, but before he could shoot, the Limburg defense managed to intervene at the last moment. Towards the end of the first half, Young PSV was mostly in possession of the ball and looking for a goal, but there was none before halftime.
No comeback in legs
In the second half, the home team came out of the locker room the best. In the first minutes of the second, Roda JC managed to increase the lead to 3-0. Things went from bad to worse when the Limburgers managed to get free and put the fourth goal of the evening into the ropes. With over half an hour to play, it seemed like an impossible comeback for Young PSV. Antonisse made a nice attempt to get on the scoresheet but his effort went over the goal. Dante Rigo made his comeback for Young PSV, coming on for Matuta. The Belgian immediately showed himself with a number of clever passes. The deficit was reduced by Fode Fofana. The striker got free in the sixteen-meter area and rounded off unerringly to make it 4-1. The goal brought courage back to the players of Young PSV. Most of the game went in the direction of Roda JC's half and the Eindhoven talents started to threaten. Yet it didn't go the right way, out of the switch Roda JC fought back. A tricky ball came well in front of goal and Roda striker Bakker was able to work the ball in with a slide, 5-1. A comeback was too much for the Eindhoven players.
