Younes Taha and Twente Turn the Tables on PSV

Younes Taha opened the scoring as Twente produced a stunning late comeback to defeat PSV 3–2 in the seventh round of the Eredivisie.

Twente produced one of the biggest surprises of the Eredivisie weekend, overturning a 2–1 deficit against PSV to secure a dramatic 3–2 victory in the closing stages.

At the heart of the hosts' impressive performance was Moroccan international Younes Taha Idrissi, who gave his side the perfect start before Twente completed a remarkable turnaround late in the game.

Taha Strikes First

The Moroccan wasted little time making his presence felt.

In the 14th minute, he found the breakthrough to put Twente ahead and give the home side an early advantage against one of the Netherlands' leading clubs.

PSV responded strongly, however, with Guus Til scoring twice in quick succession.

The forward struck in the 26th and 29th minutes, turning the game around and putting the visitors 2–1 ahead before the break.

Twente Refuse to Surrender

PSV appeared to have done enough to protect their advantage and maintain their position at the top end of the table.

But Twente had other plans.

The home side continued pushing forward and eventually found the equaliser in the 79th minute, with Wout Weghorst restoring parity.

The momentum had completely shifted.

Just four minutes later, Daouda Weidmann completed the comeback, scoring in the 83rd minute to send the home supporters into celebration.

What had looked like a comfortable PSV victory had suddenly become a painful defeat.

A Dramatic Collapse for PSV

The final stages proved decisive.

After leading 2–1 for much of the second half, PSV conceded twice in just four minutes and were unable to recover.

The result was particularly damaging given the opportunity to strengthen their position near the top of the Eredivisie standings.

The visitors also kept Moroccan international Amir Bouhamdi on the bench throughout the match, meaning he did not feature in the dramatic contest.

A Valuable Night for Taha

For the Moroccan attacker, the evening carried a particular significance.

His 14th-minute goal provided the foundation for what eventually became a memorable team victory.

Although PSV managed to respond with two goals of their own, Twente's persistence ultimately changed the direction of the match.

The performance adds another positive moment to the Moroccan's campaign as he continues to make his contribution in the Netherlands.

The Eredivisie Race Remains Open

PSV's defeat leaves the top of the Eredivisie tightly contested, with Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar and PSV remaining among the teams sharing the leading positions.

Twente, meanwhile, can take considerable confidence from a comeback victory against one of the division's strongest sides.

For the Moroccan international, opening the scoring against PSV before watching his team complete a dramatic turnaround made it a night to remember.

Twente turned a difficult evening into a statement victory, with Taha's early contribution helping set the tone for one of the round's most dramatic comebacks.
