PSV faced a deficit halfway through the game in De Kuip, but in the first 5 minutes after the break, the team from Eindhoven converted that into a lead. Gakpo shot the 2-1 past goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg after an individual action.’
“I went in and shot the ball into the short corner. We already felt in the peace that something was possible. They were a little less dominant than usual. We knew we could score if we turned up the intensity. We did. We have fought for this for years, in Europe, the cup tournament and the Eredivisie. Finally a prize.”
Gakpo, together with the regular captain Marco van Ginkel, received the KNVB Cup from Guus Hiddink.
