Eran Zehavi scored the second goal of PSV Eindhoven today (Sunday), when they defeated the Hercules 1: 3 in the 25th round in the Netherlands and temporarily rose to the top of the Dutch league. Ajax will later host RKS Walwick (17:45, Sport4) and if she scores at least one point, she will return to first place.
Zahavi showed mediocre ability today, lost a few balls and seemed a bit detached from the other attacking players, but the striker should score goals and he did so even on a day like this – his sixth conquest of the season in the league. Joey Firman made it 0-1 in the 20th minute, Zehavi doubled in the 55th minute and Cody Gaffko calmed down (71) after a shrinking goal from the visitors two minutes earlier.
PSV now has 29 wins in the last 35 encounters with the Hercules and it lost to them for the last time in 2015. The Hercules’ last away win over PSV was 0-1 in November 1964 and that has not changed this time either.
Minute 5: Zahavi passed a deep ball to Maduaka, the Englishman entered powerfully towards the goal and with a flat kick, and goalkeeper Koen Boker headed the ball.
Minute 20: Goal! Madwaka cut the Hercules’ defense and left it to Firman, who with one touch sent a diagonal ball to the bottom corner. 0: 1 to PSV Eindhoven.
Minute 35: Maduka with another big miss. The Englishman again reached a one-on-one in the morning, but finished with a flat kick on the goalkeeper.
Minute 39: Now also golden with a miss. Maduaka again caused a stir in the visiting and confused defense, the ball rolled at the feet of the Israeli who had to score, but kicked to the center and the morning of the top.
55 min: Goal! Zahavi rescued, Getza took over, Maduka got involved, but the ball bounced back from the Hercules’ negligent defense to Zahavi, who kicked hard at half-height into the net. 0: 2 to PSV
59 min: A few minutes after his goal, Zahavi was replaced by Vinicius. The Israeli finished a mediocre game with a goal – and a striker does not need more than that.
Minute 69: Goal! Armantros found himself completely free inside the extension and slammed in lightly. The Hercules shrinks to 2: 1.
71 min: Goal! Getza galloped deep, came to check in front of Boker, left for Gakpo and the winger kicked out of the five-yard box inside. 1: 3 to PSV
