Saturday ADO Den Haag O14 was the guest at the Herdgang, for the league match against PSV O14. Both teams are at the bottom of the league table, so three points would be welcome for both teams. PSV were on top throughout the match, so everyone was happy that the deserved three points stayed in Eindhoven.
PSV started the match well, yet it was Lucca Kiaba, the PSV goalkeeper who had to be the first to save, and did so well. ADO den Haag collapsed quite far and kept the field very small, making it difficult for PSV to play through, so it had to go through the sides. There were some chances for PSV, but either because they were selfish, or just dumb luck: the ball did not want to hit the net. Thus both teams could rest with a 0-0 score.
There was seemingly something in the tea of the Eindhoveners at halftime, immediately after the whistle PSV started fiercely. The Eindhoven players did not give the ADO players a millimeter of space, and the pressure was on. This game resulted in ADO not getting out at all, and the chances for PSV came one after the other. In minute 39, a shot from Gino Verhulst followed by a shot in the 40th minute that was changed direction by Isaï Middag, which went just over, 1 minute later it was Abdullah Hekmat who kicked the ball high over, and again a minute later it was Isaï but now the ball went past the outside post. So everyone is waiting for the opening goal, yet it doesn't come until the 62nd minute. PSV has so much pressure on ADO Den Haag at that moment, that the goal is bound to fall, a shot by Gino is turned away by the Ado goalkeeper, but Raf is quick to work the ball over the goal line in the rebound, finally 1-0. 5 minutes later it is Isaï who is brought down by the goalkeeper, a deserved penalty. This penalty is spotlessly shot in by Steyn Mussche. 2-0. In the last minute ADO comes out once more, but Lucca keeps his goal clean with 2 cat-like reflexes.
All in all a deserved victory for PSV, Now they can slowly start looking upwards again, to move up the rankings.
