PSV Eindhoven had few problems reaching the Dutch Cup semi-finals as they defeated TOP Oss to set up a last-four meeting with fellow victors Feyenoord.
Robert's stunning debut
Brazilian winter signing Robert made a stunning debut for the Eredivisie leaders by scoring four goals after Michael Lamey put PSV ahead on two minutes. DaMarcus Beasley scored the fourth goal and captain Mark van Bommel the last after Leon van Dalen pulled one back for the sole second division survivors.
Feyenoord through
Feyenoord saw off NAC Breda 4-0 with Salomon Kalou opening the scoring just before the break. Early in the second half, Romeo Castelen was brought down in the box and Dirk Kuijt had no problem in converting the penalty. Kalou's deflected shot increased the lead on the hour and Kuijt joined his team-mate on two goals with three minutes left.
Semi-final draw
Willem II will play AFC Ajax in the first semi-final on 20 April, with Feyenoord taking on PSV the following day.
