PSV resumed their Eredivisie campaign after the international break with a 2-0 home victory over Heerenveen, according to Dutch media reports. De Telegraaf reported that coach Peter Bosz spared Geertruida and Perisic for the match.
The result was not matched by the performance. De Volkskrant wrote that PSV failed to convince on their league restart but still took the win. The Eindhovens Dagblad described a match short on spectacle and stability, yet worth three points to the Eindhoven side.
NOS reported that PSV doubled their lead against an unlucky Heerenveen, with the Frisians leaving chances unused. AD.nl said PSV gave away plenty of opportunities but still claimed the full haul and, remarkably, kept a clean sheet.
The reports agree on the broad picture: a winning return for PSV, but not a fluent one. Heerenveen's missed chances were a recurring theme in the Dutch coverage, with NOS and AD both noting that the visitors had openings they did not convert.
The victory marks PSV's first league outing since the international break, with Bosz managing his squad by leaving Geertruida and Perisic out of the matchday selection, per De Telegraaf.
What to watch next: whether PSV's performance level rises in their following Eredivisie fixture, and whether Geertruida and Perisic return to the squad.
