They had to wait a long time, but it is finally a party for the people in Almelo! Heracles is finished after seven games of the zero by a resounding 3-0 win at Sparta Rotterdam. With two goals, Jizz Hornkamp is the celebrated man at the home club.
87 ‘Heracles captain Damon Mirani shows a broad grin on his face, because he knows how to turn a bet by Sparta off De Lijn. That had certainly been on a goal.
86 ‘The Spirit is out of the bottle at Heracles-Sparta. It is a matter of time until Heracles has the points.
It is an evening to dream for Heracles Almelo. Jizz Hornkamp is the celebrated man with the home team with two goals. He just gets a public change. Fifteen minutes to play in Almelo.
69 ‘Goal Heracles Almelo! 3-0
Heracles decides the game to his advantage! Who else than Jizz Hornkamp does it for the home club. The striker slides the ball nicely along Joël Drommel. Heracles will take his first points of the season.
65 ‘Goal Heracles Almelo! 2-0
Almelo is on the banks, because Heracles makes the 2-0. And how! Yvandro Borges Sanches curls the ball nicely long Sparta keeper Joël Drommel. Heracles is on roses and has the first points of the season for grabbing.
Trainer Peter Bosz gives an update about the failure of Ricardo Pepi. “I spoke to him for a short time. He said he could continue, but I didn’t want to take any risk. I would rather take it out as a precaution, even though we had no striker on the couch.” So it seems that it is not so bad with Pepi.
Flamingo: “Was not easy today” “I am happy with the victory, but it was not easy today”, is also the judgment of PSV player Ryan Flamingo at ESPN after the 1-2 in Kralingen. “We make a lot of mistakes and come back with 1-0. It was a lesser game on our part.”
Flamingo says he still has to get used to playing next to Yarek Gasiorowski, who does not speak English. “We do it with gestures. I sometimes speech with Ismael, who can do Spanish. Fortunately we also have translators.”
56 ‘ penalty for Sparta withdrew! Serdar Gözübüyük is called by the VAR to the side and after a long look he decides that Heraclied Mirani cannot be blamed for his procedure. That seems the right decision.
54 ‘ penalty for Sparta! Damon Mirani is too late with an intervention at Sparta striker Tobias Lauritsen and referee Serdar Gözübüyük points to the dot. It looks like a very easy penalty.
Kick off! The ball rolls again in Almelo! Can Heracles hold the lead and come from the hateful zero?
Schouten: “Make it not easy for ourselves” “The most important thing is that we do the three points, but we don’t make it easy for ourselves,” says PSV captain Jerdy Schouten after the 2-1 at Excelsior. “It is because of us that Excelsior was so brutal. We play good football at times, but we knew at 1-2 that it would be difficult. We went back a bit. They score from a throw-in and that should not happen.”
Schouten is disappointed by Ricardo Pepi’s failure. “We are disappointed by every player we have to miss. They are all important for the team. Of course there is relief. If you have such a final phase, you are happy that you pull the three points.”
Rest! Party in Almelo for the time being: Heracles is going to look up the tea with a 1-0 lead by a goal from Jizz Hornkamp. A blemish on the lead is the failure of Sem Scheperman, who had to be worn off the field with a stretcher.
Last! After five seconds, referee Dennis Higler is already whistling. That means that PSV will definitely be over the bad start in Kralingen and books a 1-2 victory on low flyer Excelsior. Ismael Saibari is the celebrated man with the Eindhoven players with the winning 1-2. A big blemish on the victory is the failure of striker Ricardo Pepi, who probably had to stop fighting with an upper leg injury.
The competition continues in Kralingen. Referee Dennis Higler says he couldn’t do anything else because of the rules. The resumption will not last long.
Competition stopped! What happens in Kralingen?! Referee Dennis Higler stops the match a few seconds before the end because some objects have fallen on the field.
45+3 ‘Goal Heracles Almelo! 1-0
What a joy in Almelo! Heracles is still scoreless and Jizz Hornkamp is now taking the lead.
90 ‘Referee Dennis Higler adds another three minutes. Is Excelsior back to 2-2?
90 ‘Excelsior gets a free kick in a nice place, but Stefan Mitrovic does not shoot the ball as beautiful as Joey Veerman. PSV keeper Matej Kovár can clamp the ball.
82 ‘Even Dennis Man makes every effort for PSV to prevent the 2-2 from Excelsior. The moment Excelsior can install for the equalizer, he blocks the shot with dedication.
80 ‘Excelsior opens all registers to get the 2-2 on the board. Pinchhitter Mike van Duinen comes in the lines. The striker still has not received a professional contract from his brother Niels van Duinen (also technical manager of Excelsior). He plays on an amateur basis on Woudestein.
78 ‘Suddenly Excelsior is besawing PSV’s penalty area. The home team tries to get the ball several times on goal, but the PSV people prevent it time and time again.
72 ‘Goal PSV! 1-2
About twenty minutes before time, PSV has taken his coveted lead. It is finally hit for Ismael Saibari. He taps a cross from Dennis Man from close by, who is only in the lines for a minute.
71 ‘PSV trainer Peter Bosz is going to change more attacking. Dennis Man comes in for Paul Wanner, who could not convince at his basic debut.
70 ‘Ivan Perisic tries to try his happiness from a distance, but that is not a great success. The ball almost goes out of the stadium, although the stadium of Excelsior is not that big either.
PSV cannot hit a breach in the defense of the modest Excelsior. It makes it rather thinking about the state of PSV at the moment. The team of trainer Peter Bosz still has half an hour to prevent a blamage. Time is starting to penetrate.
61 ‘PSV suddenly stacks a chance of chance. Guus Til tries to surprise Excelsior goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel with a volley, but the keeper stands his ground. He is also there in the rebound like the chickens. It is still 1-1 on Woudestein.
60 ‘There is finally a chance for PSV, which is particularly moderate tonight. Ivan Perisic has the ball for shooting, but he encounters goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel.
52 ‘Again a distant throw -in from Ilias Bronkhorst causes danger. Excelsior even gets the ball against the ropes, but referee Dennis Higler judges that PSV goalkeeper Matej Kovar has been hindered. That seems to be not too bad, but Higler is decisive.
51 ‘There is already a chance for Excelsior. Gyan de Regt gets his head against a distant throw-in from Ilias Bronkhorst, but PSV defender Yarek Gasiorowski can make the danger harmless just in time.
Kick off! After some delay because of the fireworks, the ball also rolls at Heracles Almelo-Sparta Rotterdam. Can Heracles finally come from the hateful zero?
Kick off! The ball rolls again in Kralingen for the second half of Excelsior-PSV. Can PSV take the promoted team after the break, even though the team of coach Peter Bosz plays after the failure of Ricardo Pepi without pure striker?
The kick-off at Heracles Almelo-Sparta Rotterdam will take a while. The fans of Heracles have set off the necessary fireworks at the rise, which has been released a lot of smoke. The VAR cannot see the lines at the moment.
Rest! PSV has a particularly difficult evening in Kralingen. Although the people of Eindhoven repaired a quick backlog against Excelsior, they have not been able to distance themselves from the low flyer in the Eredivisie. To make matters worse, striker Ricardo Pepi also dropped out with an injury, so PSV no longer has a striker.
45 ‘an imposed opportunity for Excelsior on the stroke of rest. Striker Szymon Wlodarczyk stands with his back to the goal at a cross from the left, but he can nevertheless frighten PSV. The ball just goes wrong.
With the head bent and with the face like an earwig, Ricardo Pepi blows the retreat in Kralingen. Due to his failure, PSV has major personnel problems at the forefront.
37 ‘PSV does not let the failure of striker Ricardo Pepi because of the dropout and unabated hunting for the 1-2. Again Ismael Saibari is close by, but his shot is stopped by Excelsior keeper Stijn van Gassel. The midfielder is not yet lucky on his side.
32 ‘The injury wave at PSV demands a new victim, it seems. Ricardo Pepi can’t go any further. Guus Til takes his place as an opportunity striker. PSV now has no striker at all: Alassane Pléa and Myron Boadu are also injured and winger Ruben van Bommel suffered a serious knee injury last week. Technical director Earnest Stewart joins his eyes.
22 ‘Seat belts on Woudestein, because it is never boring for a moment. PSV member Ismael Saibari has the corner for choosing the hunt for the 1-2, but a fantastic sliding by Excelsior defender Rick Meissen prevents a shot on goal.
19 ‘Goal PSV! 1-1
And now it is still right on Woudestein and how. Joey Veerman paints a free kick of almost 25 meters neatly in the upper corner, although Excelsior goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel is still on it. PSV has quickly put things in order.
15 ‘ goal PSV rejected! PSV soon thinks it will be at the same level through Ismael Saibari, but in the run -up to the goal, Ricardo Pepi is clearly offside. And so the linesman immediately puts his flag in the air as soon as Saibari shoots the ball into the net.
13 ‘Goal Excelsior! 1-0
Three times is a ship’s law for Excelsior! Szymon Wlodarczyk taps in close in after a distant throw -in. The stadium speaker is so confused that he says that PSV took the lead, but it is really Excelsior that is in the lead.
12 ‘ Excelsior hits the bar! So, PSV again escapes an early backlog. Arthur Zagré gets some room in the penalty area and extracts devastating. The bar prevents the opening goal.
10 ‘PSV has the momentum. Joey Veerman is beautifully released by Mauro Júnior, after which the ball goes to Ivan Perisic. He has to aim at least between the posts, but he shoots the ball.
9 ‘PSV with a first pin prick on Woudestein. Ismael Saibari breaks through the right flank, but goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel cannot disturb his shot. He can easily clamp the ball.
7 ‘What an imposed opportunity for Excelsior on the opening goal. Irakli Yegoian has a cross from Derensili Sanches Fernandes for the headup, but his header ends up in the hands of PSV goalkeeper Matej Kovar. PSV escapes an early backlog.
3 ‘So, PSV player Yarek Gasiorowski suddenly throws out a flying tackle at the address of Excelsior player Derensili Sanches Fernandes. Gasiorowski claims that he plays the ball, but referee Dennis Higler sees that differently. He keeps the cards in his pocket and the PSV defender cannot complain about that.
Kick off! The ball rolls in Kralingen! Will PSV stay on course in the Eredivisie? Or can Excelsior provide a stunt for its own audience?
Bosz is careful with Wanner: ‘Not every match yet’ the from Bayern Munich passed Paul Wanner gets a chance in the base at PSV for the first time this season. The expectations around the German talent were high, but Bosz is careful with when. “I experience it every day and I think we should not bring him every competition at that age,” the PSV trainer tells ESPN . “Good football player, I think, but he is still young and will have to show it. Hopefully he will do that tonight.”
Bosz: ‘Perisic was back after 6 months, Van Bommel does not have to do’ PSV has to take office tonight without Ruben van Bommel, who walked on a serious knee injury against Ajax on Sunday. “This is one of the worst injuries in football. If a fellow player gets this, everyone thinks so terrible. We’ve seen it with Sergiño Dest, everyone knows what awaits him and that does something with a group,” responds trainer Peter Bosz to ESPN .
Ivan Perisic has also experienced it recently. “Ivan played another game after six months, that’s bizarre. So he told Ruben that he shouldn’t do that,” says Bosz. “He said it was also crazy work. He wanted to help his team in Croatia (Hajduk Split, ed.), But afterwards he thought that was too great a risk.”

The Eindhoven team will visit promoted Excelsior at 8 pm at PSV, Purchase Paul Wanner Has A Starting Place for the First Time. He is the replacement for Ruben van Bommel, who suffered a serious knee injury against ajax last week.
