Two more goals in two minutes straight out of the tunnel put the game out of sight. Though, PSV never shied away from creating more chances through the likes of Noa Lang and Luuk de Jong. Martin Ødegaard added a sixth later in the second half to cap off an inspired performance from the captain. Riccardo Calafiori scored a seventh in the 85th minute as well.
