sport">In preparation for the clash with Galatasaray in the preliminary round of the Champions League (July 21), PSV faced no opposition from the German amateurs (they play at the sixth level of their country). Noni Madueke was the big man in the first half. The sought-after top talent scored two goals himself, prepared three and also provided the front assist for Yorbe Vertessen’s second goal. Eran Zahavi soon opened the scoring for the Eindhoven team, who saw Mario Götze score the most beautiful goal (the 5-0) with a very subtle bounce over the German goalie’s leg.
sport">Yet the Germans scored the most beautiful goal of the day. A knocked-off corner was brought in again and a German defender worked brilliantly with the heel against Joël Drommel. He thought it was brilliant to score against the team of German internationals Götze and Philipp Max. It was one of the two times that the poor quality home team became dangerous. PSV went to rest with a 1-6 score.

sport">In the second half, a completely different team came in, with the eyes quickly focused on Fodé Fofana. He is seen as the greatest talent of the upcoming generation in the PSV youth academy. The number nine, who has developed into an attacker with an impressive physique within a year, already played 20 times for Jong PSV in the Kitchen Champion Division (8 goals) last season and gets the chance to show this preparation. He poked three from close by immediately after the break. The final chord was for Davy Pröpper, who shot PSV to double figures: 1-10.
sport">The PSV players have some more match minutes in their legs towards the first squatter of the season. On Saturday, VfL Osnabrück waits, which relegated from the Second Bundesliga last season.
