[1185] Of it ain’t over yet in the Eredivisie

I might be wrong but this must be the tightest season in recent history. Or ever. With one more game to go, three teams mathematically have the chance to be the next kampioen of the Eredivisie. It is all down to PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord.

Wait, not Feyenoord! No! It is AZ Alkmaar!

How close it is right now?

This situation is made possible through the simultaneous win of Ajax and AZ over their respective opponent while PSV pulled down by Utrecht.

Ajax had their chance to top the table but just like how Chelsea squandered their chance earlier this evening, Ajax were unable to capitalize on the fever PSV had a few weeks ago.

Though Ajax could claim the title, I doubt trophy would go to Amsterdam this year. In my opinion, AZ would win the title. If AZ manage only a draw next week, the odd would favor Ajax because of the superior goal difference. At the moment, AZ have 6 more goals than Ajax.

But fret not for Ajax is in the final round of the Cup game against AZ. One silverware to win.

One interesting possibility: all three teams could end up with 75 points at the end of the season, with the same goal difference. How cool would that be?

And heh, the folks from Rotterdam are doing so badly this season that I always almost feel pity for them each time I look at the Eredivisie of table.

Anyway, let us savor Ajax’s 5-2 victory over Sparta.

Too close, but Perez made some space for Ajax in the 76th minute. 4-2:

Mitea completed the demolition in the 82th minute. 5-2:
