PSV C2 started this match well and within five minutes three chances were already created. Aron Schnorrenberg was the closest to a goal for PSV after five minutes, but his shot sailed out of the goal via the inside of the post. PSV C2 stayed on top, but had to watch out for the sharp counters of our opponent. After 15 minutes, Jordy de Wijs dropped a free kick, taken deep from PSV's own half, exactly behind the Helmond Sport C2 defense. Endy Opoku Bernadina sprinted out of Helmond Sport C2's central duo and then scored in a controlled manner with a nice lob over the outrun Helmond goalkeeper. This gave the team from Eindhoven the necessary calm. Just before the end of the first half, Jordy de Wijs opened with a splitting deep pass to Jeroen Meefout, who then put PSV C2 ahead 0-2 with a beautiful lob from the side of the sixteen-meter area.
Helmond Sport C2 started the second half sharper than PSV C2. Especially the wingers of Helmond Sport C2 broke through the defense of PSV C2. Fortunately, no goals were scored.
Halfway the second half Clint Leemans set up a good one-two with Rai Vloet, after which Clint Leemans, standing free in front of the Helmond Sport C2 goalkeeper, controlled the goal and scored the decisive 0-3. Helmond Sport was crushed and PSV C2 went on the hunt for more goals. Jeroen Meefout broke through on the right side and instead of going forward on his own, he made a brilliant pass over the remaining Helmond Sport defender to Junior, who was free on the left side and shot high and hard from close range (0-4). Then it was Clint Leemans' turn again, to coolly and professionally shoot in a penalty after a foul on Aron Schnorrenberg (0-5). Just before the end of the match, Helmond Sport C2 managed to produce the deserved honorary goal.
PSV C2 seems to have recovered from a weak season start and can fortunately look up again. Thanks to Wouter, Niels and Junior of PSV D1 for filling in for the C2!
