There was a time when the Amsterdam Arena was PSV’s second home – PSV totally dominated Ajax when the former played at Amsterdam (tag). Things have changed for the past few years; including this year. Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 in this year’s Johan Cruyff Shield:
Twelve minutes later Wesley Sneijder made sure the Johan Cruyff Shield would remain at the Amsterdam ArenA with a superb individual goal. Sneijder intercepted the ball on the left flank, took it in and rocketed a superb 25-yard shot past the despairing Moens and into the top right corner of the net: 3-1, and ‘game over’.
Seeing Jaap Stam lifting the Shield with Ajax – instead of PSV – certainly needs some get-to-use-to. Whatever it is, this is starting to look like a good season.
