Just one goal separated the two sides as PSV had + 50 and The Amsterdam giants are at +49 to put an end to the most exciting season in the Eredivisie.
It was a dramatic afternoon that started with PSV, Ajax and AZ Alkmaar locked together at 72 points but the latter were in pole position thanks to a better goal difference (+53).
AZ lost away to Excelsior 3-2 to get out of the race and blow up the chance of winning their second ever title and the first since 1981. PSV beat Vitesse Arnhem 5-1 and Ajax registered a 2-0 away win over Willem II but that wasn’t enough to win the crown.
Elsewhere, Feyenoord conceded a tough defeat by losing 1-5 to Heerenveen and drop to the 7th place of the table with 53 points.
Egyptian goalkeeper Sherif Ekrami was on the bench but had to come on the pitch at the 37th minute to replace injured keeper Henk Timmer. At the time the result was 1-0 for Heerenveen but they were able to strike four more goals to end the match on a stunning 5-1 victory.
It is worth mentioning that Feyenoord have the second worst defense of the Eredivisie after conceding 66 goals in 34 matches.
