The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam midfielder was all praise for his side’s commitment against Phillip Cocu’s men despite losing the match 2-0 at the end.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ton-c35408 Lokhoff, has heaped praise on his side’s performance despite losing the game 2-0 against PSV Eindhoven at Philips Stadion on Saturday, March 31.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NAC-Breda-c39983 manager was pleased with his side’s commitment and admitted that they lacked the quality upfront.
“We were well-organised and well-disciplined throughout the match. We closed down http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281´s impressive midfield. However, we lacked the quality upfront to put the opposition under pressure. Our young forwards must learn to make the right choices and we must
perform better as a team. All in all, I am happy with my team and the way they played”, Lokhoff was quoted as saying to the media.
PSV started the match in front of their home crowd brightly and it took them only 10 minutes to taking the lead. Tim Matavz collected a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zakaria-Labyad-c37796 pass inside the box, and made no mistake in finding the bottom left corner of the net to make the score-line
1-0.
Thirteen minutes later, the home side had a perfect opportunity to extend its lead. However, the VVV goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dennis-Gentenaar-c10917, denied Jeremain Lens from hitting the back of the net.
The visiting side’s goalkeeper made another good save in the closing stages of the opening 45 minutes to deny Matavz’s headed effort.
After the half-time break, the Eindhoven giants continued to put immense pressure on the VVV back-line. However, it was the visitors who threatened PSV early on. Erik Pieters’ perfectly timed tackle dispossessed Nwofor Uche at the edge of the box, much to
the relief of PSV boss, Phillip Cocu.
PSV were awarded a penalty in the 70th minute after Ismo Vostermans brought down http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 spurned the opportunity to double his side’s advantage, though, it did not prove to be a costly miss. Memphis
Depay’s strike at the stroke of full time whistle sealed a 2-0 win for the Eindhoven giants.
VVV remain unmoved at the 16th spot on the Eredivisie table, four points adrift of the safety zone.
