Muangthong United 0 PSV Eindhoven 2 - report

A very predictable game saw European giants PSV dominate possession but Muangthong held their own against the big boys and came close with a first half effort that went the wrong inch side of the post. Both sides used plenty of substitutes with everyone from reserve keeper Yaodam to Ali Diarra getting a look in for the home side.

The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the game and with at least two big signings expected to be confirmed this week, things are looking good.

MTU vs PSV preview

Tomorrow’s game has certainly caught the imagination of Thai fans. AS of Saturday, just 3,000 tickets remained. That number is now down to less than one thousand. Dutch and other international press are covering the encounter.

PSV Eindhoven should need no introduction. The European giants are currently progressing well in the Champions League and have arrived in full strength except for the controversial  World Cup finalist Van Bommel.

Muangthong will field a full strength side and although the game is largely a marketing exercise, it’s still an enticing thought to see Kawin against Mataves, Mario against Marcelo and so.

I’m expecting goals.
