Feyenoord would normally not be satisfied with the 2-2 at home. But Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s 1-2 and 2-2 came so late that there was good life for the leader. PSV was obviously less happy.

It became extremely oppressive for PSV when Feyenoord played all or nothing with one more man to get rid of the 1-2 score. And pulling the 1-2 over the line didn’t work out. Alireza Jahanbakhsh nicely shot in the 2-2. The blistering end meant a frustrated PSV and a relieved Feyenoord.
PSV had a dream start in De Kuip. Already after seven minutes it was hit when the visitors threw out a razor-sharp counter. Xavi Simons was gone and found Anwar El Ghazi who had little trouble beating keeper Timon Wellenreuther: 0-1.

El Ghazi had to score with the German keeper because international Justin Bijlow dropped out on Saturday. The keeper suffered a fracture in the wrist on Friday and will not be there for the time being. For Arne Slot it was already puzzling for the squatter in De Kuip, because the leader’s trainer also had no access to Gernot Trauner, Sebastian Szymanski and the sick Quilindschy Hartman. After the 0-1, Feyenoord took control, but beyond a shot by Santiago Gimenez that was turned by Walter Benitez, a blocked attempt by Marcus Pedersen and a situation in which Igor Paixao himself ended up in goal, but the ball did not. the Rotterdammers did not come.
PSV saw El Ghazi and later Philipp Mwene drop out injured before the break. With Johan Bakayoko and acquisition Patrick van Aanholt, trainer Ruud van Nistelrooij had more than worthy replacements available.
After the break, Feyenoord had to look for the equalizer and PSV would again be lurking on the counter. After the break there were three key moments. Walter Benitez first turned a free header from Gimenez and then also nicely defused Timber’s rebound. And not much later, Armando Obispo made it even more exciting. The defender jumped wildly on Gimenez’s thigh. The VAR Dennis Higler drew Makkelie’s attention to this and Obispo was able to move in. Substitute Thorgan Hazard made it 0-2 on the counter, but on the other hand, the substitutes were also alert.
Oussama Idrissi gave the cross and Alireza Jahanbakhsh headed in: 1-2. Feyenoord stormed on Benitez’s goal, but the team from Eindhoven seemed to hold on with ten players in the nine minutes of extra time. Benitez saved on an attempt from Danilo, Jahanbakhsh shot just over. Until a later attempt by the Iranian hit the target. In this way, at least to save the buffer that Feyenoord had in the ranking with the people of Eindhoven.
