After two encouraging performances, Ajax suffered another major disappointment. The fifth-place side in the Eredivisie was stuck at a draw (2-2) in the home match against Fortuna Sittard on Sunday. Substitute Brian Brobbey saved a point for the home team in the final phase. Ajax's fifth place in the Eredivisie is also in jeopardy. NEC can reduce the deficit to 1 point later on Sunday if they beat Heerenveen.
PSV continued their 100% record in the Eredivisie this season by beating Fortuna Sittard at home on Saturday. Goals from Guus Til, Andre Ramalho, and Johan Bakayoko gave Peter Bosz’s side the win. The Eindhovenaren broke the deadlock after 18 minutes. Hirving Lozano switched the ball to the other wing to Bakayoko, who crossed it first time for Til to knock it past Fortuna goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. The second goal came after 54 minutes. Ramalho, who has been criticized for his performances this season by Bosz, headed home from a corner by Joey Veerman.
