Ceased
On May 19, 1992, it ended up being 2-2 between Dordrecht and PSV. However, the match started more than two weeks before that. On May 2 of that year, Gerald Vanenburg put PSV ahead. With a 0-1 lead, the game was then halted after a bomb threat. When the game resumed later in the month, PSV was suddenly facing a 2-1 deficit. Via Mitchell van der Gaag it became 2-2. PSV's last game this season, away at Estoril Praia, was also played over two days. That game too was eventually tied: 3-3. On February 3, 1995, PSV and FC Dordrecht faced each other for the last time in Dordrecht. At the Krommedijk, PSV won 2-0 through goals by Ronaldo and Erik Meijer.
A hundred times Memphis
Memphis can play his 100th official game for PSV against FC Dordrecht. He scored 35 times for the main squad so far. Memphis made his debut for PSV in 2011 during the cup game with VVSB. In that match he immediately scored two goals. Against FC Dordrecht, Memphis neither played nor scored. That makes that club one of the five current Eredivisie teams against which Memphis has not yet scored. The other four are Feyenoord, PEC Zwolle, SC Cambuur and Excelsior. The outfielder has a chance to cross two of those teams off this list before the winter break. Besides FC Dordrecht, PSV will also play Feyenoord this calendar year.
