Outstanding performance
PSV•MidfielderNEC Nijmegen pulled off a stunning upset at the Philips Stadion, surviving a late PSV fightback to claim a memorable 3-2 victory. Bryan Linssen was the hero for the visitors, striking twice in the first half from similar positions on the right side of the penalty area to put NEC in command. PSV responded through Kiliann Sildillia's corner-kick finish just before halftime, but substitute Youssef El Kachati's brilliant angled finish restored NEC's two-goal cushion. Despite Couhaib Driouech's dramatic 90th-minute strike setting up a frantic finale, NEC held firm to secure three points that will significantly boost their Eredivisie campaign while leaving PSV to rue missed opportunities at home.
