Talk about a timely and impacting return. Just a couple of minutes after he was substituted into the match to a roar from the home fans, Costa Rican international Bryan Ruiz made a massive impact on the game, drawing a penalty on a foul by PSV Eindhoven’s Orlando Engelaar. Free-scoring midfielder Theo Janssen stepped up to take the penalty as usual, and he buried his ninth goal of the season to put FC Twente up by a score of 1-0.
FC Twente Vs. PSV Eindhoven: Bryan Ruiz Returns, Draws A Penalty, And Twente Lead
The penalty was a soft one, for sure. Engelaar did make contact with Ruiz, but the Costa Rican went down very, very easily. The most cynical of people might call the soft penalty justice, as Twente were denied a clear penalty and sending off when PSV got away with a handball off the line in the first half. At this point, it looks like the recent trend in this fixture will continue, and PSV will go a seventh straight year without winning in Enschede.
