PSV gets cheap victory in UEFA cup; 2-0

PSV beat the disappointing Helsingsborgs IF with two cheap goals, 2-0. PSV didn’t want to give anything away against Henke Larsson. In reality, PSV was in control and only allowed the Swedes a couple of chances in the first phase of the match. Man of the match was young defender Dirk Marcellis who kept Larsson in the dark.

PSV got a cheap lead. Lazovic tumbled in a duel with goalie Andersson and got a penalty kick. Timmy Simons scored, 1-0.

Afellay got a couple of chances to score more goals, but he failed and hit the post once. Andersson couldn’t control one of Afellay’s shots, allowing Lazovic to score an easy 2-0.

PSV controlled after that and Helsingsborgs wasn’t able to fight back. This result gives PSV a good perspective on the next round. Helsingsborgs will need to score twice next week to at least get extra time against the Dutch champs.
