In the Sunday match of the Dutch championship, recently appointed new coach Danny Blind, Amsterdam suffered a crushing defeat at home with a score of 4-0.
Currently, the Amsterdam team, which is in third place in the Eredivisie, left no hope for the tournament leader Eindhoven. As noted by Guus Hiddink, the head coach of Eindhoven's club after the match, a leveled battle took place on the field until the first goal, scored by Philip Cocu representing "Barcelona" last season, in the 24th minute. In the added time of the first half, Netherlands national team defensive midfielder Mark van Bommel doubled the score, scoring two more goals in the second half for "PSV".
This win against the long-time club rival "PSV" should instill confidence in preparing for the Champions League quarter-final match against "Lyon", which will take place in three weeks.
This year, the club, which received a lot of attention due to its excellent performance in the UEFA Cup, being in second place in the tournament table, took advantage of "Ajax"'s failure and increased their lead against Amsterdam's club by defeating "Vitesse", which is in fifth place, with a score of 3-0, increasing the lead to seven points.
The distance to "Ajax" was reduced by Rotterdam's "Feyenoord", who defeated "RKC" 4-2 as visitors. Now, only three points separate Rotterdam's club from third place.
