In the latest Eredivisie fixtures, both Ajax and Feyenoord stumbled, allowing PSV to increase their lead at the top of the league table. Ajax was held to a 1-1 draw by Go Ahead Eagles, conceding an injury-time equalizer, while Feyenoord failed to score against bottom-placed Volendam, also drawing 0-0. PSV, on the other hand, secured a 2-0 victory over Excelsior, extending their lead to nine points.
Ajax, playing at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, took the lead through Anton Gaeei's stunning volley in the 23rd minute. However, Go Ahead Eagles leveled the score in the 92nd minute when Bas Kuipers' shot deflected off Jorrel Hato. The draw comes amidst turmoil at Ajax, with the club suspending General Manager Alex Kroes for alleged insider trading.
Feyenoord's disappointing result against Volendam saw them miss crucial opportunities, including a free-kick that hit the post. Despite dominating possession, Feyenoord could not find the back of the net, leaving them frustrated.
In contrast, PSV had a comfortable victory over Excelsior, with Mauro Junior and Johan Bakayoko scoring in quick succession to secure the win. The victory further solidifies PSV's position at the top of the league.
Meanwhile, AZ suffered a shock 5-0 defeat to Heracles, conceding two penalties and two injury-time goals. FC Twente also failed to capitalize on their rivals' misfortunes, drawing 3-3 with Heerenveen after initially leading 1-3.
PSV's victory and Ajax and Feyenoord's draws highlight the competitive nature of the Eredivisie this season, with the title race likely to go down to the wire.
