PSV Eindhoven recorded a 1-1 draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten, heaped praise on his side’s performance, but also admitted that their opponents also staged a brilliant show.
The Eindhoven giants commenced proceedings aggressively and grabbed the lead in the 19th minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zakaria-Labyad-c37796, though they could have broken the deadlock when Kevin Strootman’s long range effort was brilliantly saved by the Heraclieden

PSV asserted authority on the pitch throughout the match in a game of limited chances until the home side started to show some resistance with 20 minutes remaining on the clock. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 Ramos da Silva scored the equaliser in the 76th minute after
an impressive display of dribbling skills.
The Boeren head coach admitted that his side performed impressively, but failed to take all three points back to Eindhoven.
“We played an excellent match. It was good football, we put good pressure. But the end result was unbelievable. I could hardly believe myself that we have lost two points. We performed brilliantly for 75 minutes, but the result dented us badly in the end”,
Rutten was quoted as saying to NUsport.
The Dutch mentor then went on to reveal that his side failed to convert their chances in the opening half, which cost them two crucial points at the end.
“I think we could have at least scored twice in the first-half. But we didn’t, and that cost us two points. We failed to hold on to our slim lead until the final whistle. It was very annoying to take a lone point back to home. We must resolve these problems
if we are going to become champions”, Rutten concluded.
