Dest, Pepi, Bajraktarević at PSV all games PBP thread

Dest played 90, Pepi was subbed on at the half in a 1-3 victory vs. Heracles.

 

and losing 1-0 in the 7th minute...Dest starting and Pepi on the bench

 

nice cross and a header, now 1-1 in the 15th minute

 

NEC defenders sliced open, now PSV winning 1-2 in the 22nd minute.

 

welp...tied up 2-2 now at halftime...can anyone say last goal wins???

 

and NEC go ahead 3-2 in the 61st minute.

 

I was going to put on the Leeds game, but this is more exciting.

Anyone know if it goes to ET or PKs in event of a tie at full time??

 

Esmir subbing on

 

NEC throw away a chance to seal the game when Mauro Jr got caught in possession and allowed a 1v1 with the keeper.

 

Esmir hasn't been particularly great since coming on. Dude likes the dribble in circles a lil too much.

 

Yes, added time and then kicks...if PSV can score here.

 

the commentator keeps glazing NEC's performance, repeatedly talking about how much a cup final would mean to the club and its fans, seemingly unaware that they were in the cup final 2 seasons ago (23/24)?

 

oye vey, that has to be on goal...sigh

 

PSV apparently has won 32 of the 35 games against NEC

 

Game over, upset complete, celebrations on their way.

 

Oh yeah, no, this outcome is remarkable, but normally when a commentator is talking like this, its because the club in question haven't been to a final in decades (if ever). I was very surprised to see NEC was in the final as recently as 2024. I think what he was actually remarking on is the fact that NEC upset PSV en route this time, but kept talking about it in very general terms (eg. "for PSV, this would be just another final, but for NEC it would be incredible")
