PSV retained its 10-point lead at the top of the Eredivisie table thanks to Ricardo Pepi’s stoppage-time heroics on Sunday.
Pepi came off the bench and scored the winning goal for PSV in a 1-0 home triumph over FC Twente. Fellow U.S. men’s national team attacker Malik Tillman was credited with the assist on the goal while Sergino Dest logged 90 minutes at left back.
With PSV fighting for a winning goal at the Philips Stadion, Tillman connected with Pepi for the breakthrough moment. Pepi’s low left-footed shot nestled into the bottom-left corner for his ninth goal of the season across all competitions.
It marked Pepi’s first goal since Feb. 24 and his third overall of 2024.
PSV hung on to move to 23-3-0 in Eredivisie play, sitting 10 points clear of second place Feyenoord.
Pepi, Tillman, and Dest will now head back to the United States for international duty with the USMNT. Gregg Berhalter’s squad hosts Jamaica in CONCACAF Nations League semifinal action on Thursday.
