On Sunday, the final matches of the 15th Dutch "Eredivisie" championship took place, which were a true contrast to the matches held the day before - if on Saturday Dutch football fans saw 5 goals in 4 matches, on Sunday goals poured like from a bucket - a total of 21 were scored, which is more than 5 per game. In total, during this "Eredivisie" season, 428 goals have already been scored. The favorites, Amsterdam's "Ajax" and Alkmaar's "AZ," won convincing victories, "Utrecht" achieved an easy victory, and in Rotterdam, the local "Feyenoord" only defeated "Heerenveen" after a particularly tough battle. In the third position, "Ajax" at home crushed Tilburg's "Willem II" 6-0. The capital team figured everything out already in the first half - Zdenek Grygera and Urby Emanuelson scored at the very beginning, later before the break Nicolae Mitea and Klaas Jan Huntelaar scored, defeating the opponent's goalkeeper twice. After the break, Tomas de Mul added the final point to the match. By the way, Tilburg's team ended the match with ten men - Jose Valencia was sent off the field after receiving his second yellow card at the end of the match. No less impressive victory was also achieved by "AZ" eleven, defeating Rotterdam's "Excelsior" 5-0. In this match, only two players scored goals for Alkmaar's team - Danny Koevermans and Shota Arveladze, while the final goal was an own goal by "Excelsior." "Utrecht" also had no problem at home against "Groningen" team. The hosts took the lead in the 4th minute when Sander Keller scored, later Cedric van der Gun defeated the goalkeeper twice. Perhaps the most intense matches of the entire round took place in Rotterdam, where the local "Feyenoord," in front of 38,000 spectators, narrowly defeated "Heerenveen" 4-3 after a very tough battle. The guests scored first after a shot by Afonso Alves, but "Feyenoord" managed to respond with three accurate shots - Steijn Huysegems scored twice and Theodore Lucius once from the penalty spot. However, the guests quickly brought back intrigue and tension - within 5 minutes, Rob Friend defeated goalkeeper Henk Timmer twice, equalizing the score. The victory for "Feyenoord" was brought by Jonathan De Guzman's accurate shot at the end of the match.
