PSV suffered a surprising defeat on their own ground in Eredivisie, 0-2 with Telstar. At the end of the match, PSV's coach Peter Bosz sought explanations. Dennis Man was a holder for the champion of last season in Eredivisie, but was changed at the break.
Telegraf journalists made a harsh x -ray: “Peter Bosz must have been shocked by what they showed in the first half the two extremes for which PSV Eindhoven spent a total of over 24 million euros. They could not win any duel and were completely blocked.
Man was replaced at the break for the second week in a row and this time he had a completely devoid of brilliance, failing to create any noticeable opportunity or action. The Romanian worked this time as the invisible man. “
Neither did Algemeen Dagblad have been milder:
The champions of the last two seasons have not made a good first half, the game of the team in Eindhoven being full of errors. PSV seemed lethargic before the break and energetic afterwards, but he could not turn the situation. What happened to PSV in a terrible first half? It was a terrible evolution, compared to the standards that Bosz's team imposes. Many passes were wrong and lost duels, the extremes only once overcome their opponent in one-to-one confrontations. The striker withdrew too much and the defenders were not well positioned

Bosz did not expect this defeat, who came after three quite convincing victories. “Otherwise, I would have had an explanation, but I don't. Even with the many changes of players we had this summer, we should win with Telstar,” said the coach, according to Sportnieuws.nl.
After three victories, this was the first points lost for the PSV, which thus missed the chance to increase their advance to the rival Ajax. After four stages, PSV has a more point than the team in Amsterdam. Over three weeks, the two top clubs will face Eindhoven.
PSV – Telstar
Before the match, nothing foreshadowed a defeat for PSV, who had started the convincing season with victories against Sparta Rotterdam (6-1), FC Twente (0-2) and FC Groningen (4-2).
Coach Peter Bosz chose to start with the same eleven as against Groningen. Sergino Dest replaced again on the injured Mauro Junior, who will be missing between six and eight weeks, on the left defender. Joey Vemer, in Brentford's attention, was on the reserve bench.
Telstar again practiced cared football and courageously attacked. Patrick Brouwer seemed to open the score in the second minute, but goalkeeper Matej Kovar had an excellent intervention. This was not a sufficient warning for PSV. Soufiane Hetli shot the gate in the five minute. PSV had the first opportunity only after ten minutes. Goalkeeper Ronald Koeman rejected a ball deviated with the heel by Ruben Van Bommel.
The goal of Telstar came in the middle of the first half. Tyrone Owusu sent a superb -effect shot from the edge of the box, in the right vin. PSV's fans have copiously hired at the referee's break whistle.
At the beginning of the second half, Bosz introduced Vemer, Ricardo Pepi and Esmir Bajraktarevic instead of Dennis Man, Ruben Van Bommel and Yarek Gasiorowski. Bajraktarevic was close to marking immediately. His shot, diverted by a player of Telstar, passed away from the gate.
Telstar doubled his advantage in the 65th minute. At a corner, Patrick Brouwer was left completely free at the first bar and sent the ball to the gate: 0-2. Next, Telstar was under a higher pressure, but PSV failed to create many clear opportunities.
