The second direct relegation spot was decided in the Eredivisie on Sunday, as FC Volendam's relegation was confirmed after they lost 1-4 to Ajax. The Volendammers are now seven points behind Excelsior with two matches remaining. Ajax took the lead after 24 minutes. Kenneth Taylor received the ball on the edge of the 16-yard box, and he finished it beautifully, side-footing it into the top corner.
