By: j | December 27th, 2008
In PSV’s final match before the winter break, the defending champions played Steve McClaren’s Twente to a scoreless draw at Philips Stadion.
PSV’s best scoring chances happened early first with Nordin Amrabat effort seven minutes after the start being pushed away by Twente ‘keeper Sander Boschker. At the seventeenth mintue when Balázs Dzsudzsák’s corner was nodded on with force by Jérémie Bréchet but was cleared by Sander Boschker and off the post before breaching the score-sheet. Before Balázs Dzsudzsák struck the cross-bar with a free-kick at thirty-fifth minute Twente nearly took the lead as Austrian capped Marko Arnautović rattled the post from inside the area. Following the break, PSV showed very little soul, lacked the iniative of a champion and seemed content with a single point. Opportunities were minmized with the match a box-to-box affair and concluded in a nil draw.
With the draw PSV heads to the break in fourth position, nine points behind first place AZ. They return to return to the training grounds on January 5 in preparation for the next match on January 18 against Roda JC.
