PSV Faces NAC Breda: A Match Defined by Late Goals and Controversial Refereeing

The clash between PSV and NAC Breda highlighted two pivotal moments: the two goals scored by NAC in stoppage time of the first half, and PSV’s inability to respond effectively thereafter. Additionally, the officiating by referee Dennis Higler drew significant criticism from fans of both teams.

Supporters expressed their frustration with Higler’s performance, noting several contentious decisions. Rik Elfrink from the Eindhovens Dagblad remarked on a specific incident where Paul Wanner received a yellow card despite playing the ball, indicating a clear oversight by the referee. However, this misjudgment did not result in PSV falling behind at that moment. At this stage of the match, PSV was far from the formidable team that had previously dominated in the Eredivisie this season.
