PSV arrived in Deventer and, despite a brief wobble after conceding a penalty equaliser, ultimately showed the class gulf between the two sides in a 4-1 victory. Ivan Perišić set the tone early with a well-taken header from Kiliann Sildillia's cross, and when Sildillia himself gifted Go Ahead Eagles a spot-kick that Mathis Suray converted to level things at 1-1, it felt like a genuine moment of jeopardy for Peter Bosz's side. But Ricardo Pepi's clinical header in first-half stoppage time — capitalising on Sergiño Dest's cross — restored PSV's lead at a critical psychological moment, and the contest never recovered for Go Ahead Eagles after that blow. The statistics tell the full story: PSV dominated with 59% possession, racked up 24 shots to Go Ahead's 11, and created four big chances to the home side's one. Perišić added his second in the 70th minute to put the result beyond doubt, and Paul Wanner's late strike completed the rout, sending PSV home with three points and a statement performance ahead of the Eredivisie's final weeks.
