PSV thrashes Groningen 5-1 in Dutch Eredivisie opener

Monday, 24 August 2026, 06:26 · 1 min read

PSV Eindhoven (the reigning Dutch Eredivisie champions) put on an impressive display at home, defeating FC Groningen 5-1 on Sunday to move to seven points from three matches. Groningen took an early lead through Brynjolfur Willumsson, but PSV turned the game around before half-time with goals from an own goal, Ivan Perisic, and a Ricardo Pepi penalty, before Perisic and Sergiño Dest added two more after the break — with standout midfielder Ruben van Bommel heavily involved throughout. The result keeps PSV within reach of league leaders AZ, while the win also marked the debut of new signings Lutsharel Geertruida and Filip Kostic, as the club looks to build momentum ahead of upcoming away fixtures against Utrecht and Ajax.
