PSV's title hopes suffered a major set-back as goals from Sander Duits and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mitchell-Schet-c26105 gave Ruud Brood’s side a shocking win over Phillip Cocu’s men.
On Wednesday, April 11, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370 recorded a stunning 2-1 win over title hopefuls PSV Eindhoven at Mandemakers Stadion in round-29 of the Dutch top flight.
The Boeren commenced proceedings brightly and created couple of decent goalscoring opportunities to break the deadlock, but they lacked the incisiveness upfront against a well-organised Waalwijk outfit.
In the eighth minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 failed to meet the cross and the ball went out for a goal kick.
The home side responded well with Mitchell Schet having two opportunities to break the deadlock. However, the forward failed to find the net on both occasions.

At the stroke of half-time interval, the Waalwijk outfit had an opportunity to take the lead when Krisztian Nemeth played a neat through-ball for Schet. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Przemyslaw-Tyton-c30175 made a brilliant interception coming off his line.
Both sides were still level on terms at the end of the opening half, which saw goalscoring opportunities few and far between.
RKC resumed action at home after the half-time break impressively and took the lead in the 55th minute. Ard Van Peppen set up Sander Duits at the edge of the box, and the midfielder powered his shot into the top-left corner of the net.
Two minutes later, the Waalwijk outfit scored another to send the home crowd into raptures. Nemeth’s pass found Schet inside the box, whose deflected shot wrong-footed Tyton and found the back of the net.
After going two goals down, the Eindhoven giants mounted immense pressure on the RKC back-line. However, they failed to create anything of note with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 the only one coming close in the 78th minute with a shot that struck the post before
going out for a goal kick.
Four minute before the full time whistle, PSV managed to hit the target. Atiba Hutchinson’s cross from the right was perfectly headed into the back of the net by Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. However, it was too late to change the outcome of the match.
PSV dropped three crucial points in the title race, as they are now sitting fifth on the Eredivisie table, seven points behind the league leaders, Ajax Amsterdam.
