PSV Eindhoven excels in possession by controlling 68 percent of the ball distribution and successfully releasing a total of seven shots on target.

Sparta Rotterdam managed to take the lead after Said Baki's cross was converted into a goal by Metinho's right-footed shot in the 8th minute. However, PSV managed to equalize to 1-1 in the 18th minute thanks to an own goal scored by Said Baki.

PSV Eindhoven then took the lead in the 26th minute after Johan Bakayoko's shot was maximized to a goal after receiving a pass from Luuk De Jong. However, another suicide goal occurred in this match, this time by PSV player Olivier Boscagli, so that the position changed to 2-2 in the 29th minute.

In the second half, PSV took the lead again in the 67th minute after Boscagli scored to redeem his previous own goal. The squad coached by Peter Bosz then widened the lead to 4-2 in the 78th minute after a goal scored by Jordan Teze after receiving a pass from Ricardo Pepi.
