Eindhoven kept the absolute

Absolute continuity for Eindhoven. The Dutch champion beat Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 in the “Philips Stadium” for the eighth matchday of the Eredivisie and, with “8 out of 8”, “appears” at the top of the standings, keeping +5 from the second place and leaving the second team of the major port of the “tulip country” marginally outside the privileged eight.

The champions were caught by surprise and found themselves behind in the 10th minute with a goal by Lauritsen, but responded immediately with an own goal by Verschueren in the 34th minute and a goal by De Jong in the 36th minute and held on, despite Dams being sent off in the 49th minute.

Utrecht kept the -5 in second place, defeating bottom and bottom Waalwijk 3-2 at home and still hoping for their participation in the next Champions League.

Brenda, who defeated Nijmegen 1-0 at home and left them in the last three, was in -1 of the eight.
