PSV won 4-1 against AZ at their own Herdgang and is still the leader of the Premier League. The Eindhoven side are still ahead of Ajax on goal difference, who won against FC Utrecht on Saturday and has the same number of points after seven games.
PSV’s unbeaten status was almost in danger against AZ, but the streak of games without conceding the goals came to an unfortunate end.
With a 1-0 lead (Chimera Ripa goal), PSV defender Melanie Bross scored her team’s first goal of the season. Bross played the ball back towards her own goal, while goalkeeper Nicky Evrard expected the ball across her goal and was unable to prevent it at 1-1.
Just before half time, Sisca Folkertsma headed in the deserved 2-1 for PSV on a pass from Renate Jansen, who played much better football and did not allow any chances at the back.
Jansen was convincing for PSV after the break. With another assist from a routine position for Folkertsma 3-1 and making it 4-1, the Dutch international put the result up.
A stunning late marker costs Heerenveen a goal
SC Heerenveen won 3-1 against Telstar earlier in the day, but the Frisians walked off the field humbled. Britt Udink scored the fourth goal for Heerenveen in the dying seconds, but when the ball went into the empty net the final signal sounded.
The referee was silent so the score remained at 3-1.
“The whistle was already in her mouth and she hadn’t seen that Britt could still score,” Heerenveen coach Niklas Tarvajärvi told ESPN afterwards. “She also said it was the wrong choice there But hey, everyone makes mistakes.”
