PSV are virtual champions of the Eredivisie after beating Heerenveen with a stunning win (0-8) and only second-placed Feyenoord’s victory in their visit to the Go Ahead Eagles (1-3) prevented them from celebrate the title in style. official
PSV maintains its nine-point lead with three games remaining in the Eredivisie and has an overall goal average of +86 goals, higher than its title rival’s +56. This is the standard followed in the Dutch championship in case of a tie in the final classification.
An unthinkable scenario
That means PSV have to lose their three games with shock defeats and Feyenoord have to win them and do so with a huge result to overturn the 30-goal deficit and ensure the title doesn’t end in Eindhoven.
In other words, PSV is now celebrating the 22nd Eredivisie in its history after chaining four consecutive runners-up finishes. Today he more than fulfilled his part of the script with a scandalous win over Heerenveen.
Three goals in the first 11 minutes
He barely needed eleven minutes from the opening whistle, with three goals in a row, to end the rivalry in front of a large number of his fans who traveled to Heerenveen.
For the purpose of Guus Til In the 7th minute a Malik Tillman doubled (9′ and 11′) with no room for surprise. PSV, vastly superior and absolute dominators of the ball, enjoyed being surrounded by a festive and celebratory atmosphere.
The match started a quarter of an hour late due to traffic congestion. The clock stopped to wait for the large number of fans who didn’t want to miss a minute.
Heerenveen’s side, who still have options to enter contention for a European place, would surely have preferred to shake off the devastating first quarter of an hour.
Crushing statistics
And that’s it, until Till’s first goal, The statistics are overwhelmingly in favor of PSV. The Heerenveen, In the first seven minutes, he made only ten passes. The remaining time of possession was for the team of Peter Bosz, who gradually accumulated the first goal.
Until it is marked. He didn’t waste the pass that Tillman intercepted to beat the goalkeeper with a good left foot. Mickey van der Hart that a minute and a half later he returned to collect the ball from the net after a precise header from Tillman after a great assist from the right wing of Jordan Tese.
Tillman doubled
And, with no time to regret those actions, Heerenveen admitted it again. Tillman again, This time with a shot from the ground and almost no angle that went between Van der Hart’s legs in another example of the local defensive fragility, he added another goal to the scoreboard that eventually fell to his rival.
Down by an impossible score, Heerenveen came under the rapacious pressure of PSV, who in the midst of the downpour struggled to produce a veritable storm of goals. So, after half an hour, Til, with a free shot after Van der Hart’s first shot, scored the fourth.
0-5, PSV’s 100th goal in this Eredivisie
On the edge of rest, Joey Veerman, With a loose ball from outside the area, he scored the fifth, which he did not celebrate out of respect for his former team and marked PSV’s 100th in the current edition of the Eredivisie.
The party continued in the second half with a great early goal from Johan Bakayoko, who destroyed the goal corner that Van der Hart defended with a shot from outside the area. The goal of the Belgian player seemed to calm the anxiety of PSV, who, however, accelerated in the last period to achieve a historic result.
Luuk de Jong added his 27th goal
Luuk de Jong, the Eredivisie’s top scorer, did not leave him without his prize and scored his 27th goal of course in 71 minutes. AND Patrick van Aanholt, In the 83rd minute, he closed out a defeat that matched the 0-8 scoreline for NAC Breda-Ajax in 2017, one of the biggest away results in the history of the Dutch championship.
Van Aanholt’s victory was preceded by the launch of flares by PSV fans, who forced the game to be stopped for several minutes.
