PSV launches stunning comeback to beat Groningen
By: j | December 6th, 2008
PSV looked to be headed towards another disappointing loss before a stunning four spree in fifteen minutes to defeat FC Groningen 4-2. Whistles sent the defending champions to the locker room with Groningen leading 2-0. The visitors took the lead with Swedish international Marcus Berg opportunistic goal just past the half hour mark however it looked to be the shape of things to come as FK Partizan-product Goran Lovre re-directed Petter Andersson’s cross. At the half, Hubb Stevens called upon Otman Bakkal and Nordin Amrabat for Stefan Nijland and Stijn Wuytens respectively. The impact was fast as nine minutes after the break Otman Bakkal found the back of the net from ten meters to half the difference. Only three minutes later Otman leveled the match, accepting a long ball from Timmy Simons before drilling home. A champions spirit woken, the home side thirsted for more goals and one minute past the hour troubled Danko Lazović poached on a close range rebound to give PSV the 3-2 lead. The Serbian international added his second of the night eight minutes later as the Groningen defense left him to waltz in alone.
The victory brings PSV to fifth place, seven points behind the seemingly unstoppable AZ. PSV returns to action this Tuesday against English side, Liverpool in the Champions League.

I was almost thinking PSV was out of the challenge at Eredivisie. But, after these two brilliant comebacks against Heerenveen and Groningen, I’d not dare to say Boeren are finished anymore. As we say in Brazil, “the one who fights is not dead”.

Felipe – thank you for joining in. I personally think the Eredivisie is the most exciting race in Football this winter and enjoyable to watch. Incredible conflicting styles with a great amount of parity.
