Feyenoord 2-3 PSV: Records rife as PSV keep title dream alive
Feyenoord surrendered a two-goal lead to lose 2-3 late on against PSV at De Kuip. With this and Ajax's shock defeat to NEC Nijmegen, Peter Bosz's fightback side kept their title dreams on track. With this, a number of records were broken. Early strikes from Igor Paixão and Givairo Read inside the first 10 minutes were cancelled out by Ivan Perisic and Noa Lang in the second half. Advertisement Following Read's dismissal for a lack of concentration with a last-man challenge, former Feyenoord academy man Lang emerged as the pantomime villain. He scored deep into added time and celebrated in the faces of the home supporters. PSV's comeback victory signalled the first time since 29 November 1992 that Feyenoord had lost at home in the Eredivisie after being ahead at half-time. At that time, it was MVV Maastricht who triumphed in Rotterdam-Zuid after being 3-2 down at half-time, winning 3-4. The last time Feyenoord lost an Eredivisie match in which they were leading 2-0 was on 22 October 1995 against Ajax, when the score was 2-4. In the 336 subsequent times that the Rotterdammers led 2-0 at home in league play, the result was at least a draw. Advertisement The fact that Feyenoord lost to PSV (and Ajax) both times in the league this season arrives as another rough aspect for the day's hosts. That has only happened once before in the 2017-18 season, when the team, as defending champion, took zero points from the top teams. Hancko analyses difficult loss Speaking after the game, Feyenoord centre-back David Hancko addressed his side's fast start, before eventually fading away against a determined PSV. 'I think everything we trained came to fruition. High pressure, long balls in the build-up. We did that because PSV wants to defend man-to-man. There were chances to score there. Advertisement 'But this is the most painful day in my three years at Feyenoord. We got tired and we're not experienced enough yet, I think. I'm proud of how hard we worked, how we tried to block shots. We did everything to stop PSV, but they're a great team.' Feyenoord were slowly exhausted and overrun by PSV, the defender noted. 'Their quality went up, we got tired. The crosses kept coming, the transition moments followed each other quickly. They went from side to side, the build-up was tight as a sheet. We could no longer remain so compact, they kept finding the free man. 'Joey Veerman was allowed to set the pace. We talked about that all week. If you give him space, he is one of the best players in the competition. PSV showed its qualities, while we were no longer so good.' There's just one point between PSV and Ajax. PSV end their season with a game at home against Heracles Almelo, before they face Sparta Rotterdam away. Ajax will nervously try and stay on track at the top with their final two fixtures of the season being away at Groningen and at home to Twente. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

How to watch France vs Croatia FOR FREE: TV channel and live stream for Nations League today
France have it all to do tonight to overturn their 2-0 deficit against familiar opponents Croatia in the second leg of a heavyweight Nations League quarter-final tie. Les Bleus endured an evening to forget in Split on Thursday, with the damage inflicted during a woeful first half at Stadion Poljud as Ante Budimir and veteran Ivan Perisic gave Zlatko Dalic's side a commanding advantage to take to Paris as the likes of Ibrahima Konate and William Saliba struggled in defence. Captain Kylian Mbappe was unable to spark a comeback for France on his return to the international fold after six months under Didier Deschamps, but he will be expected to lead a revival on Sunday evening as his manager no doubt ponders some key personnel changes. The winners of the tie - a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final in Moscow, which the French won 4-2 - will advance to the last four and also be placed in Group D in 2026 World Cup qualifying, joining Ukraine, Iceland and Azerbaijan. The losers, meanwhile, will go into Group L alongside Montenegro, the Czech Republic, the Faroe Islands and Gibraltar. TV channel and live stream: France vs Croatia is not among the Nations League fixtures to have been picked up by Amazon Prime Video this week. Instead, the game can be watched live and for free online via the Viaplay International YouTube channel. Kick-off at the Stade de France is scheduled for 7:45pm GMT, which is 8:45pm local time.

Perisic stars as Croatia stun France in Nations League
Ivan Perisic scored one goal and made another as Croatia beat France 2-0 on Thursday to seize the upper hand in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final tie. Perisic crossed for Ante Budimir to head in the opener at the Stadion Poljud in Split after the home side had squandered an early penalty. With France out of sorts, Perisic made it 2-0 before the break and a Croatia side captained by Luka Modric saw out the victory to take to Paris for the return match on Sunday. It was not a good night for France as captain Kylian Mbappe made his comeback having not featured in either of the last two international windows, in October and November. Mbappe did have chances, notably seeing a deflected second-half shot from Ousmane Dembele's cutback kept out by a fine Dominik Livakovic save. The Real Madrid superstar has now failed to find the net in his last six appearances for his country, since scoring a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Poland at Euro 2024. Les Bleus will now have to find a way of overturning the deficit at the Stade de France on Sunday, otherwise Croatia will be heading to the final four of the Nations League. The semi-finals and final will take place in June and will be hosted by either Italy or Germany, depending on which of those sides emerges victorious from their last-eight encounter. France won the Nations League in 2021 but suffered a first ever defeat against Croatia in the group stage of the following year's edition. This latest repeat of the 2018 World Cup final, won 4-2 by the French in Moscow, saw Croatia win a spot-kick just five minutes in. Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate was penalised for a blatant handball inside the area, but Mike Maignan saved Andrej Kramaric's penalty after a long delay due to the goalkeeper having a laser pen shone in his eyes. However, Croatia did get the breakthrough on 26 minutes as Budimir, who has 15 goals in La Liga this season for Osasuna, got in front of William Saliba to connect with a Perisic cross from the left. Budimir'e header was blocked by Maignan, but the ball still spun into the net in cruel fashion for the goalkeeper. It was 2-0 in first-half stoppage time as Saliba blocked a shot by Martin Baturina, only for the ball to fall for PSV Eindhoven veteran Perisic to fire in. France made changes, sending on Dayot Upamecano for Konate at the restart and later bringing on Bradley Barcola for Randal Kolo Muani and Michael Olise for Dembele. The latter spent more time on the right flank after the break having previously been deployed more centrally. However, they could not get a goal back and now face a daunting task in trying to recover the tie. as/dj
