My first Dutch football watch in nearly a year. Some game to come back to. Ajax and PSV have always been intense rivals, this was no different. PSV got a scrappy goal in the first five minutes to take the lead, before in the second Ajax got one back from Tolu. He seems to be making a solid comeback from his poor performances at Wolves, though his wingers didn't give him a lot to work with tonight. PSV regained the lead with the last kick of the first half coming from a world-class Geertruida volley. PSV's attack tonight was generally stronger and it showed at the end when they got a stoppage time goal to seal the deal late on. That's the kind of team they are I suppose, one that will kick you while you're down. The refereeing I also imagine will be the talk of this game. van Bommel put in an absolutely horrific challenge in the 80th minute and walked away with just a yellow card. In fact, there were several instances on both sides of hard challenges going unpunished. Perhaps the ref was letting things slide due to the intensity of the rivalry, but I really don't think he did well enough. Despite showing some high quality, Ajax just aren't ready yet to punch up with the new higher guard of the Eredivisie. Meanwhile, PSV look strong enough to challenge some of Europe's elite. With the Champions League upcoming, I think their goal should be to get a spot in the knockout rounds of the tournament.
