d**k Advocaat’s side put in a commanding display in their second Group F game, with goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 helped PSV to secure a comfortable win over the Serie A outfit.
On UEFA Europa League matchday two, PSV Eindhoven claimed a dominant 3-0 victory over SSC Napoli at Philips Stadion on Thursday, October 4.
The Eindhoven giants asserted their authority right from the first whistle, and put immense pressure on the visiting side’s defence.
In the 17th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775 tried his luck from range, but his low effort was kept out by the Azzurri goalkeeper, Antonio Rosati.
Two minutes later, the home side broke the deadlock through Jeremain Lens. A long ball from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Timothy-Derijck-c35129 was poorly handled by Rosati at the edge of the box, which allowed the 24-year-old to tap home with ease.
Strootman had another opportunity to add his name to the score-sheet, but his powered effort went well wide of the target, much to the dismay of the Boeren head coach, d**k Advocaat.
Nonetheless, the Eindhoven giants did manage to double their advantage four minutes before the half-time break through Dries Mertens. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Narsingh skipped past two defenders at the left flank, before sending a cross inside the box, and the Belgian ace made no mistake in hitting the top left corner of the net with a superb volley.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-c28540 El Kaddouri as the second-half resumed. However, the change did little to threaten the home side’s back-line.
The Eindhoven giants continued to dominate proceedings at Philips Stadion, and came close to extending their lead further. However, Marcelo’s headed effort went wide of the target, while Timothy Derijck’s effort brought out a decent save from Rosati.
In the 52nd minute, the Boeren managed to increase their advantage through Marcelo. A Mertens corner was perfectly headed into the bottom right corner of the net by the Brazilian defender to make the score-line 3-0.
Cavani could have pulled one back near the hour-mark, but the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 goalkeeper, Boy Waterman, made an impressive tackle to deny the Uruguayan ace from hitting the back of the net.
Mertens found the side netting from a narrow angle, before blasting a shot over the crossbar, while Rosati made a brilliant save to deny the Belgian ace from hitting the target from a free-kick.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the score-line read 3-0 in favour of PSV.
The Boeren will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AIK-c38243, while Napoli will battle against FC Dnipro in their next UEFA Europa League fixture on October 25.
