Ismaël Saibari delivered a masterclass performance on Sunday, firing PSV Eindhoven to a 3-2 away victory over Feyenoord in a thrilling Eredivisie encounter.
The Moroccan international dominated proceedings in Rotterdam, scoring a memorable hat-trick that silenced the home crowd and propelled PSV to the top of the league table.
Saibari struck his first goal in the 30th minute, showcasing composure and precision inside the box. He doubled his tally early in the second half, finding the net in the 51st minute with a well-placed effort that left the Feyenoord goalkeeper with no chance.
Just nine minutes later, the 23-year-old completed his hat-trick, sealing a remarkable individual display.
Feyenoord, desperate to respond, pulled a goal back in the 73rd minute through Moroccan international Oussama Targhalline, who scored his first-ever Eredivisie goal.
Despite late pressure from the hosts, PSV’s defensive discipline and Saibari’s brilliance ensured the visitors walked away with all three points.
The result leaves both PSV and Feyenoord level at the top of the Eredivisie standings, each with 25 points. Saibari’s three-goal haul also moved him into second place in the league’s scoring charts with six goals, underlining his growing importance in PSV’s title ambitions.
This latest display continues Saibari’s fine run of form, as he cements his place among the standout performers of the Dutch top flight.
His sharp movement, technical flair, and finishing ability have become defining traits in PSV’s attacking play under head coach Peter Bosz.
Elsewhere, Ajax Amsterdam ended their recent slump with a 3-2 win over FC Twente, moving to 19 points.
The victory keeps them in contention for third place, alongside AZ Alkmaar, who are set to host FC Utrecht later on Sunday.
For Saibari, however, the night belonged to him alone. His hat-trick not only lifted PSV but also reaffirmed Morocco’s growing influence in European football, with the young forward’s performance earning widespread acclaim from fans and pundits alike.
