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.
PSV picked up a tough victory over Go Ahead Eagles on Friday night to continue their unbeaten run. Full-back Sergino Dest struck in the tenth minute for the match's only goal. The United States international started the match well, creating a chance for his fellow US international teammate Malik Tillman before scoring to give his side the lead. Dest received the ball on the wing from Oliver Boscagli and cut inside past two players before curling it into the far corner.
