During the big match against Feyenoord, Guus Til took an important step toward a special milestone. The striker scored his 49th Eredivisie goal for PSV. Luuk de Jong was the last player to reach 50 in 2016.

Guus Til scored his sixth goal in the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie this season on Sunday afternoon. This brings his total to 49 league goals for PSV. The last player to score at least 50 league goals for PSV was Luuk de Jong in 2016. This means Til is close to a major milestone. With his six goals, he is the team’s leading scorer and is tied for second place in the Eredivisie’s “ VriendenLoterij ” standings.

The midfielder-turned-forward is really on a roll. He also scored against FC Porto and provided the assist against ADO. Since his arrival in 2022, Guus has played 189 matches. In those matches, he has scored 60 goals and provided 36 assists.

Standings
Due to this weekend’s results, the top of the Eredivisie standings is incredibly tight. In fact, this is only the third time this century that the top five teams have been this close together after ten matches. This previously happened in 2008–2009 and 2013–2014. Feyenoord has 24 points, Ajax has 21, and PSV, AZ, and FC Twente each have 20.

PSV certainly had its chances, as the team managed nineteen shots and recorded an xG of 1.92. Feyenoord managed thirteen shots, with an xG of 1.19. PSV was also the more dominant team in terms of possession (52%).

Mikkel Bro Hansen made his PSV first-team debut after playing for Porto. Yesterday afternoon, he made his debut at the “ Philips ” Stadium. The young Dane arrived in Eindhoven this summer.
