Psv U21 takes three points at home after an early red card by Excelsior. Peter Uneken's team fell behind in the first half but managed to recover in the second.
Early red
The first chances were for the away team, but Youri Roulaux cleverly stopped several Rotterdam efforts. Psv U21's first major opportunity came through Richy Ledezma, who was allowed to take a free kick from the edge of the penalty area. His shot unfortunately hit the Excelsior defense and posed no further danger. After less than twenty minutes the team had to continue with ten men. Ledezma broke through and was brought down by the Rotterdam goalkeeper. PSV did not take advantage of the red card. Just before half time, Excelsior had a free header chance and Roulaux was beaten.
Comeback
At the kickoff of the second half, Young PSV was dangerous right away. Jordan Teze was able to hit a low cross from close range but the ball failed to find an end. Later, it was Amar Catic who saw his effort go off the goalkeeper from close range. Noni Madueke broke the spell for Young PSV and managed to play himself free in front of the Rotterdammers' goal. He did not fail to score and equalized. In the closing stages of the match Roulaux made a wonderful save to prevent a goal against. In the final seconds of the match Excelsior got a corner kick. From the counter after this, Ngonge managed to score the winning goal to keep three points in Eindhoven.
