Psv U21 takes care of number two SC Cambuur at home. Stijn Schaars ' team gained a comfortable 3-0 lead, but still had to defend it fiercely in the end.
Young PSV had a good opening phase against SC Cambuur and managed to take the lead within twenty minutes. After a well-taken corner kick by Fabio Kluit , it was Robin van Duiven who headed the ball against the Cambuur goalkeeper, but in the rebound it was Joël van den Berg who stood ready and put the opening goal to his name. Shortly after this goal, Cambuur quickly tried to fight back, but it was Niek Schiks who managed to prevent a counter goal with a fantastic save. Only moments after this chance, Stijn Schaars ' team struck again and doubled the score. This time it was Nicolas Verkooijen who managed to surprise the goalkeeper with a hard shot from Fabio. This gave Young PSV a comfortable 2-0 lead going into tea.
Comeback
The promising team came out of the dressing room strong and extended the score to 3-0 after ten minutes. After an excellent run by Wessel Kuhn , Robin was reached with a subtle heel to put Fabio in scoring position. The latter did not hesitate for a moment and placed the ball out of reach of the Leeuwarden goalie. After this goal the visitors became stronger in attack and the Eindhoven defense was put to the test. In the 78th minute Cambuur forced a tying goal and Baouf headed the ball into the ropes. Shortly after, Young PSV came close to a fourth goal, but Koller fell just short of slotting in Sol Sidibe's cross. In the closing stages of the match Cambuur became stronger offensively and Balk hit the woodwork. Via the crossbar the ball ended up dangerously in front of the goal and the Eindhoven defense was forced to intervene with a foul. As a result, referee Pérez pointed to the spot and it was Diemers who collected the penalty to make it 3-2.
