PSV had the match under control before the interval. Rijsbergen opened the score in the 33rd minute and struck again three minutes later, sending PSV into halftime with a 2-0 lead. That quick double shaped the contest early and left HJK chasing both the ball and the result for the rest of the night.
HJK tried to change the rhythm after the restart and made their first substitution in the 53rd minute. The visitors gave themselves hope at 61' when Holmstrom made it 2-1, but the reply was immediate. Just over a minute later, Rijsbergen completed her hat-trick to restore the two-goal cushion at 3-1. The stats line that mattered most was simple - PSV had the finisher who turned pressure into goals.
There was still time for late drama. HJK made further substitutions in the 63rd and 77th minutes, while PSV responded with changes in the 69th and 77th. An away yellow card arrived in the 75th minute, PSV then missed a penalty moments later, and HJK collected another booking in the 87th. By full time, the score remained 3-1 and PSV's match summary was clear: fast, clinical, and decisive when it counted.
