After the match, the PSV manager commented:
"This is the biggest disappointment of the season"
"PSV put in a poor display tonight. N.E.C. threatened from set pieces, although we told our players to be wary of the threat posed by them. It is hard to get a result in Nijmegen and I cannot but conclude that N.E.C. deserved their victory. We tried to make amends after the break, but we just were not good enough. The European midweek clash has been physically demanding, but it should not serve as an excuse for our below-par performance."
The loss sends PSV to fourth in the Eredivisie table, four points behind table-leader NAC Breda.
