Telstar stuns PSV 3-1, amateur trio leads shock win

Former Quick Boys trio lead Telstar to stunning win over PSV in Eredivisie. Telstar shocks PSV 3-1, completing a miraculous double over reigning champions.


PSV's title hopes take hit as Telstar secures 3-1 upset win...


PSV Eindhoven suffered a major upset, losing 3-1 to promoted side Telstar, with a trio of former amateur players playing key roles in the shock win.


The defeat means PSV can no longer win the Eredivisie title in round 28, despite Feyenoord and Ajax drawing earlier. A win would have cut their lead to 18 points at most, but now Telstar have dealt them a difficult blow.


After another superb solo from Ismael Saibari, Ricardo Pepi looked to have opened the scoring after sliding the ball under Ronald Koeman, but the American saw Danny Bakker spectacularly clear the ball off the line to keep the game scoreless.


PSV were reduced to ten men when Roma loanee Anass Salah-Eddine was given a straight red card for dealing Gerald Alders an elbow to the chin, leaving PSV to play the last 50 minutes with a handicap.




It all went from bad to worse for the champions-to-be after Sem van Duijn headed a free-kick to the far post, where Patrick Brouwer was eagerly waiting to fire the ball past Kovar and give Telstar the lead shortly before half-time.


It took PSV just 80 seconds to level the scoring after half-time, thanks to Kilian Sildillia, who nodded in a corner from Ivan Perisic and earned the star winger his ninth assist of the season.


PSV dominated possession after Sildillia's goal, but struggled to break through, with Flamingo, Driouech, and Saibari all failing to give them the lead.


Telstar seized the moment, and Sem van Duijn's long-range shot stunned PSV, giving them a shock 1-0 lead in the 66th minute.




The BUKO Stadion erupted again as Kay Tejan, just on, scored Telstar's second, converting Sem van Duijn's long throw-in to put them 2-0 up in the 74th minute.


Following Brouwer and Van Duijn's goals, Tejan became the third former player of amateur club Quick Boys to score against PSV. All three played at the amateur level in the past five years, with Brouwer even being the reigning Quick Boys Player of the Year.


The chances kept piling up for Telstar, who came close to a stunning fourth when Devin Koswal had a rocket saved by Kovar at his near post.


PSV pushed hard in the final minutes and thought they'd scored a late consolation goal, but Ismael Saibari's backheel was quickly ruled out for offside.




That was it, Telstar held on to complete a miraculous double over PSV, with this being their second win over the reigning champions in their first Eredivisie season since 1978.


PSV's title hopes took a hit as they suffered a shock 3-1 loss to Telstar, marking the second time this season they've lost to a promoted team.


Their next chance to win the league is on April 4th, hosting FC Utrecht at home
