PSV answered swiftly. In the 57th minute, Pepi restored the lead with his second of the night, once again set up by Bajraktarevic. From there, the home side took full control.

A decisive spell began in the 72nd minute when Simon Graves turned the ball into his own net to extend PSV’s advantage to 3–1. Just a minute later, Bajraktarevic capped his influential performance with a goal of his own, making it 4–1 after being teed up by Guus Til.

Substitute Couhaib Driouech added a fifth in the 79th minute, before Bajraktarevic struck again three minutes later, this time assisted by Driouech, to complete the 6–1 scoreline and underline PSV’s dominance.

There were few disciplinary issues: PEC Zwolle’s Anselmo MacNulty was booked in the 41st minute, while Ivan Perišić received a yellow card for PSV in the 89th minute after coming on as a substitute for Joey Veerman midway through the second half.

Further substitutions included Myron Boadu replacing the two-goal Pepi, and Jordy Bawuah and Jim Koller entering for PSV, while Tristan Gooijer, Tijs Velthuis and Thomas Buitink came on for PEC Zwolle.
