goal pepi! edit: I believe that's an American connection: Esmir crossed in, Pepi glanced the cross off his head into the net
PSV's first goal is not long in coming. An excellent cross from Esmir Bajraktarevic can be entrusted to Ricardo Pepi. The PSV striker extends the ball with his head and finds the far corner. A great goal by the American!
5 minutes after halftime, and PSV's defense completely turns off, allows a 1v1 attack, PSV's keeper saved the intial shot, but PSV's defense stayed turned off on the rebound, and a Zwolle attacker is able to casually collect the ball and puts it in the net from ~25 yard out. 1-1.
2 for Pepi, and it's almost a like-for-like copy of his first with the assist coming from Esmir. All American goal! Honestly, glancing headers don't get much prettier than that. Just barely lifted over the keeper's head, bounced off the cross bar, off the line, and into the top-corner where the top-spin forced it into the goalmouth. Deeply satisfying (unless you're a Zwolle fan) 2-1
Uh, I walked away to ask my wife a question and missed a goal. It's now 4-1. Sofascore tells me Esmir scored the last one.
stop stop, they're already dead. Pepi almost assists Til, but its saved on the line, and ultimately poked in by Driouech 5-1
VI'sTeam of the Week, matchday 31: Het Elftal van de Week ziet er dus als volgt uit: Jari De Busser (Go Ahead Eagles, 7,0); Shawn Adeyowe (Fortuna Sittard, 6,5), Gernot Trauner (Feyenoord, 7,0), Youri Baas (Ajax, 7,0), Jordan Bos (Feyenoord (7,5); Philip Brittijn (Fortuna Sittard, 7,5), Cedric Hatenboer (Telstar, 7,5), Noah Naujoks (Excelsior, 7,5); Esmir Bajraktarevic (PSV, 9,0), Derensili Sanches Fernandes (Excelsior, 8,5), Mika Godts (Ajax, 8,5).
Pepi was bloody aweful. After his goal 33 seconds from kick off, he completely shut off, including a shot for a good chance going wide by meters. He was, like the Dutch commentator said in the first half, completely invisable. Bosz should have pulled him off at the break.
Should have pulled him off right after he scored. That would have helped Pepi’s goals/minutes average.
Pepi and Dest both start! Pepi scores the go-ahead second goal, Dest playing LB with the assist, Go Ahead Eagles 1-2 PSV, at HT - still 1-2 PSV at 70’.
