PSV's CONCACAF stars all delivered as the Eredivisie title-holders handed a record 7-1 league defeat to Almere City.
U.S. international Malik Tillman scored his second goal in three league matches for PSV, while Mexico international and incoming San Diego FC star Hirving Lozano did one better, netting his third in as many games. Rising young American Richy Ledezma also started, playing 88 minutes before being subbed out for American-born Dutch international Michael Bresser. Finally, Ricardo Pepi came on in the 73rd minute and got his first league goal of the season.

PSV should be really nicknamed Team CONCACAF as the team is lined with players from that region. If one is an American or fan, the Dutch club is becoming a must-watch as it remains top of the Eredivisie — holding off normal powerhouses Ajax and Feyenoord.
Manager Peter Bosz continues to have this team motivated and firing on all cylinders. With Mauricio Pochettino reported close to potentially managing the USMNT in its September friendlies, there is a chance players like Tillman and Ledezma might get increased playing time.
