At PSV Campus De Herdgang, PSV Women managed to beat FC Twente 1-0. As a result, coach Sander Luiten's team qualifies first for the champions' pool at the end of the season.
Snoeijs sharp
In the opening stages of the match, there were chances on both sides of the pitch. In the end, it was PSV that opened the scoring. On a cross from Jeslynn Kuijpers, Katja Snoeijs managed to spoon the ball over the Twente goalkeeper for the 1-0. No further goal came. Kuijpers was dangerous on the flank several more times, as was Joëlle Smits, but their efforts found no follow-up.
No connection
After halftime, it was FC Twente that started strongest. However, excellent reflexes by Eli Sarasola prevented a counter goal. Defensive work by Aniek Nouwen ensured that a number of Twente crosses were well cleared. Smits again became dangerous, but saw her effort go against the crossbar. Later, Kuijpers had the same problem when her shot ended narrowly on the roof of the goal. A further tying goal did not come; one goal was enough for victory.
Setup:
Sarasola; Coolen, Nouwen, Biesmans, Burns; Van Dooren (85/Bond Flasza), Levels, Pattiwael (69/Tillman); Snoeijs, Kuijpers (90/Cuschieri), Smits.
