PSV is not so far-fetched in its own country after all. PSV Eindhoven lost its first points of the season this afternoon. Despite Bakayoko's goal, the score remained 1-1 in Utrecht. Very sad: PSV Eindhoven misses a record 18th consecutive win due to dropping points.
look. Great header from Johan Bakayoko
The move to Utrecht was much more than a routine Sunday afternoon outing for PSV Eindhoven. The proud leader of the Eredivisie was still top of the Eredivisie with maximum points 17 days after the match and was able to improve on his record at Galgenwaard. Only in the 1987-1988 season did a Dutch club, then also PSV Eindhoven, also start competing. After 36 years, the people of Eindhoven were keen to secure an 18th successive win in the competition.
The mission could not have started better for PSV. Just seven minutes later, Red Devil Yohan Bakayoko cleverly crossed for Dest and appeared to be taking his side into the history books. The goal was also the highlight of Bakayoko, who, like Jorbe Vertessen, has played a lesser game.
PSV looked like they wanted to get the win by controlling the pace, but that was not the case after half-time from a red-hot Utrecht side. Ousmane Boussaid, the 23-year-old Belgian from Utrecht, quickly erased the opening goal in the second half. He did not inspire PSV to play better football – on the contrary. It was Utrecht that later had the greatest claim to greater stratagem. Bou Said's shot went wide of the goal, but PSV Eindhoven only compensated for it with a shot from substitute Lozano that hit the crossbar.
With a 1-1 draw, PSV suffered their first points loss of the season at the end of January and failed to break their record. Bakayoko, Vertesen and co still reign supreme at the top of the Eredivisie.

Almost Bou Said
Deliver the eggs as quickly as possible Othman Boussaid de Galginward Delirium. Our 23-year-old compatriot tries a great shot from outside the penalty area but it doesn't go far. In Utrecht, they fully believe in adventure.

Yohan Bakayoko replaces Noah Lange
The second Belgian also has to leave. Top scorer Bakayoko, who became relatively invisible in the second half, makes way for old acquaintance Noah Lange. Can the Dutchman still give PSV Eindhoven the Eredivisie record?

Print from Utrecht
It is clear that Bou Said's equalizer gave confidence to the home team. Utrecht puts PSV Eindhoven under intense pressure and is looking for more than 1-1. Meanwhile, PSV will bring in two new necessary forces in Van Aanholt and Lozano.

1-1 Othman Boussaid's goal!
The home team came out of the dressing room strong and are being rewarded for it. Lammers sends a perfect cross to Bou Said. All the Belgian-Moroccan has to do is shoot the ball into the goal.

The end of the first half
Resting in Utrecht. PSV took the lead quickly through Johan Bakayoko. He headed a cross from Dest well onto the ropes. After that the quality disappeared a bit from the match. The away team continued its dominance, but Utrecht had the biggest chance before the end of the first half.

Giant opportunity Utrecht
Utrecht almost took the lead shortly before the end of the first half. Lammers can attack with his left foot, but he chases the ball over Benitez's cage. If the home team wants to have a chance today, these balls need to go in.

Bang Vertisun
Vertessen breaks free and shoots towards goal. Full shot from the fists of Utrecht goalkeeper Barkas.

PSV carries itself easily
For now, there is nothing wrong with the people of Eindhoven. Without much opportunity to play football together, they hold their ground with ease. Utrecht rarely reach the back line. The match takes place mainly in midfield.
