Psv U21 squanders points in closing stages

Young PSV drew 2-2 against MVV on Friday night. For a long time it looked like Haar's team was going to win, until the last minute. A ball from Schroijen flew into the crossbar in the final seconds.

Few chances
After the Maastricht national anthem had sounded, Young PSV could hunt for their third win of the month of October. The crowd in De Geusselt was little entertained in the opening phase of the game. The game went up and down without really big chances. In the 23rd minute, one of the goalkeepers was forced into action for the first time. Van Osch saved a shot by striker Schroijen and prevented a goal. Haar's team's first chance was a direct hit after just under half an hour of play: Romero sent Verreth away, who coolly passed to Gakpo, who walked along. The outfielder easily ran the ball in: 0-1. Psv U21 could not enjoy the lead for long: a few minutes later the score was level again through Schroijen.

Late equalizer
Perhaps the most important man on the side of Young PSV Friday night was Van Osch, who also made a fine save early in the second half. At the other end, Teze shot a cross from substitute Frey hard in behind PSV loanee Koopmans. A fine goal. In the second half too, chances were sparse, with both teams creating little. In the closing stages the home side did everything they could to at least get a point from the game, and with success. In the last minute of official playing time, a ball from distance flew into the crossbar.
