Morocco’s Ismael Saibari contributed to PSV Eindhoven’s 2-1 narrow win over Heerenveen in the Eredivisie at the Philips Stadion on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Atlas Lion broke the deadlock just minutes before halftime, smashing in a perfect pass from Guus Til.

Saibari is in a sizzling form and proving to be one of PSV’s most consistent players – with 7 goals and 9 assists in just 21 league matches.
The Moroccan midfielder is tipped to join the national squad for the next World Cup qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania on March 21 and 25.
Saibari has climbed the ranks of PSV Eindhoven youth team into the senior squad and has become a starting player under manager Peter Bosz. He regularly plays as a creative box-to-box player alongside Jerdy Schouten and Til.
Last Tuesday, PSV were pummelled 7-1 at home against Arsenal in the Champions League’s last-16 tie. Saibari started the game on the right side of a three-man midfield and was rated a disappointing 4.7, according to FotMob.
The second leg will be played next Wednesday at the Emirates Stadium in London, and Saibari’s chances to qualify to the next round are unfortunately almost null.
