Eindhoven cannot lose this year’s Eredivisie either. The Dutch champions narrowly defeated Alkmaar 2-1 for the ninth matchday and escaped with +8 at the top of the second place, with the second-placed Utrecht, however, having two matches less and playing at home to Groningen on Sunday and can reduce to -5, with AZ staying in fourth place.
The winners’ goals were scored by De Jong in the 15th minute and Lange in the 22nd minute before Cassius reduced the score at 90’+1′.
Olympiakos’ opponent in the League Phase of the Europa League, Twente, did not manage to win at the home of the tail-ender Vaalwijk, which drew 2-2, equalizing in stoppage time and remained in fifth place and -2 from the top.
Stein in the 11th minute made it 0-1 and Eiting in the 90th minute saved the Ensende team.
Feyenoord swept 5-1 at home to Go Ahead Eagles and stayed at -11 in third place, leaving the home team in the top seven.
Nijmegen was in -1 of the eight, which destroyed Heerenfen 3-0 at home and left the “hearts” in -3 of the privileged positions.
Sparta Rotterdam lost the chance to enter the top eight, after conceding 2-2 to penultimate Almere City.
