In the same week that PSV U21 lost disappointingly at home to Telstar, it traveled to Almere City for its last match of October. Maxi Romero and Maxime Delanghe joined from the A-selection and thus witnessed a small Dante Sealy show.
Back and forth
Plenty of action in the early stages of the match, as after only 25 minutes PSV U21 was already trailing 2-1. Maxime Delanghe, had to fish the ball out of the net in the 11th and 25th minutes. In the 15th minute, it was Johan Bakayoko who, after a nice dribble, shot his third of the season. Despite the arrears, Ruud van Nistelrooy's team kept the ball moving smoothly. The home team regularly had to rely on fouls to stop PSV U21. It was no surprise that Ismael Saibari equalized in the 33rd minute.
Hat-trick hero
After halftime, PSV U21 took control for the first time when Dante Sealy worked the ball past the goalkeeper with his head. The cross came from Mathijs Tielemans, who also provided the assist for the other two goals. The lead did lead to the away team being put under pressure earlier and more fiercely. As a result, Almere City created a number of great chances, but without success. And then the laws of football kicked in; Sealy scored in the 84th and 85th minute and so the Almere crowd witnessed his first hat-trick in professional football. Almere City still scored via a penalty, but nevertheless it was a resounding victory for PSV U21.
