Against All Odds: Legacy Of A Football King

The PSV players mobbed Matavž near the corner flag, their faces lit up with joy. Strootman sprinted to join them, pumping his fists in triumph.

[Look at the reaction from Strootman,] Mike observed. [That's what it means to this PSV team. They've been relentless since conceding the equalizer]

On the AZ Alkmaar bench, Gertjan Verbeek was a picture of frustration, pacing the touchline with his arms crossed tightly. He barked instructions at his players, his voice barely audible over the roar of the home crowd.

[Gertjan Verbeek won't be happy with the marking there,] the co-commentator said. [Matavž was given far too much space to rise and head that in]

[Absolutely,] Mike agreed. [It's a simple ball into the 18 yard box, but AZ Alkmaar's defense switched off for just a second, and that's all it took]

The AZ Alkmaar players trudged back to the center circle, their heads down.
