Toivonen first-half hat-trick
Rutten included Ola Toivonen in his starting line-up and the Swedish striker had his diligence rewarded with an early goal. Lazovic delivered a low cross from the left flank after ten minutes and Bakkal´s clever dummy allowed Toivonen to slot home: 0-1. PSV doubled their lead four minutes later. Lazovic´s through ball found Dzsudzsák inside the box and the Hungarian set up Toivonen to finish with the easiest of tap-ins: 0-2. ADO coach Atteveld made a double substitution on the half-hour mark, with Van den Bergh replacing Horváth. The substitute had been on the pitch for barely seven minutes when he was sent off for a vicious foul on Afellay. On the stroke of half-time, Lazovic, who was outstanding, did all the hard work with a lovely run before unselfishly cutting the ball back to Toivonen who completed his hat-trick with a glancing header: 0-3.
