USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi shines with a brace while Malik Tillman bags a goal as PSV cruise past PEC Zwolle in Eredivisie action

<p>Earning a rare start, U.S. international Ricardo Pepi shined as PSV thumped PEC Zwolle 6-0 in regular season action. Opening the scoring in the ninth minute, he added his second in the 59th, while fellow USMNT regular Malik Tillman bagged a goal, too, scoring the Dutch side's third of the day in the victory.</p><p>Pepi's first, a stupendous side-volley, set the tone for the match, while the floodgates opened over the final 45 minutes. His second was a lovely low-driven effort, while Tillman's goal was a lovely placed header.</p><p>Additional goals came from wingers Noa Lang and Johan Bakayoko, with the latter coming in the 89th minute to seal all three points.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It appeared as though Pepi had completed his hat-trick in the 71st minute when PSV scored their fifth, but his header deflected off goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar for a Zwolle own-goal. Another chance arrived in the 83rd minute when PSV were awarded a penalty kick, but veteran Luuk De Jong was the preferred kick taker - however, the 34-year-old missed his attempt from the spot.</p><p>It was just Pepi's second start of the season, but notably, his second 90-minute appearance this season where he scored a brace. With five total goals on the campaign, he's found success when given an entire match, with just one goal off the bench in six other substitute cameos.</p><p>Tillman, meanwhile, scored his fifth goal of the season as well from his attacking midfield role.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With five goals through Oct. this season, Pepi is on-track for a career-best scoring campaign. In 2021, he scored 13 with MLS side FC Dallas, and hit that number again in 2022-23 with FC Groningen. However, he's now on pace to surpass both of those tallies, if he stays on course during 2024-25.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The U.S. duo and PSV are back in action on Saturday, Nov. 2 when they travel to take on rivals Ajax in regular season play. A clash between first and third in the league, Tillman and Pepi will look to help their teammates continue their unbeaten start to the season.</p>
