Unnecessarily behind
Friday night the last home game before the winter break was scheduled for Young PSV. Almere City FC was the opponent at sports complex De Herdgang. The visitors from Almere knew a fine start. A sloppy back-pass by Loof allowed Van Amersfoort to take advantage after only three minutes: 0-1. Young PSV faced an unnecessary deficit and was at times the better team on the pitch. After a quarter of an hour Leemans scored the deserved equalizer. He shot the ball hard into the goal: 1-1. Just five minutes after the equalizer, Pascal Jansen's team was behind again. Almere City player Kip escaped the defense and laid the ball ready for Oost's head: 1-2. Young PSV did not seem upset and looked to attack via Vloet, but could not force an equalizer. The visitors lurked mainly on the counter, but were no longer dangerous. An unnecessary deficit for Young PSV after 45 minutes.
Switching becomes fatal for Young PSV
Just after halftime, Young PSV equalized in brilliant fashion. Alberto slid in, got the ball back from Leemans and he shot the ball with a volley into the long corner: 2-2. The visitors from Almere were forced back into their own half by Young PSV, but were deadly effective in the counter. Boldewijn was able to tap the ball into the goal from the rebound after an excellent save by Bertrams: 2-3. Young PSV did not lag behind for long. Just two minutes later the referee put the ball on the spot after an Almere City FC handball. Vloet knew how to deal with this opportunity: 3-3. Seven minutes before time the visitors managed to take the lead for the fourth time. Boldewijn shot the ball again behind Betrams: 3-4. Via Vloet, Young PSV had the chance to get a point from this game after all, but his effort went over the Almere City FC goal. Psv U21 loses 3-4.
