Eindhoven, September 11, 2022

PSV Eindhoven maintained their unbeaten start to the Eredivisie season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over RKC Waalwijk on Sunday afternoon. The hosts took the lead through Xavi Simons' first-half strike and held on for all three points despite a spirited second-half display from the visitors.

The game started at a frantic pace, with both sides creating chances in the opening exchanges. However, it was PSV who took the lead in the 25th minute when Simons fired home from close range after being teed up by Cody Gakpo.

RKC Waalwijk responded well to going behind and had a number of chances to equalize before the break. However, they were unable to find a way past PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez.

The second half followed a similar pattern to the first, with PSV creating the better chances but failing to extend their lead. RKC Waalwijk also had their moments, but they were unable to find the equalizer.

The victory moves PSV up to second in the Eredivisie table, while RKC Waalwijk remain in 13th place. PSV will be back in action on Thursday when they travel to Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League. RKC Waalwijk will next face NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie on Saturday.
