The great classic between Ajax and PSV ended this Sunday 2-2, allowing the Amsterdam team to continue leading the Eredivisie, with one point more than the Eindhoven team. The truth is that at the Johan Cruyff Arena PSV went 0-2 in the 21st minute thanks to a double by Eran Zahavi. But Ajax managed to level the score.
Zahavi, who was returning after missing 6 games due to injury, overcame a heads-up with André Onana on the first goal after a sensational spur pass from Donyell Malen in the 2nd minute. The Israeli achieved the second in the 21 'also assisted by Malen and achieved something that no one did since 2010, when Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored for the last time two goals against Ajax in the first 21 minutes of a game.
But champion Ajax reacted. Against his best rival, Quincy Promes closed the gap, assisted by Dusan Tadic in the 40th minute. In the 55th minute, the referee annulled a goal by Sebastien Haller for Erik ten Hag's team for offside.
And it was Haller who in 65 'served the assist that Antony turned into 2-2 that prevented the victory of PSV, which would have allowed the Eindhoven team to become leaders of the Dutch championship, which they have not conquered since 2017-18. Ajax have won the Eredivisie 34 times and PSV 24.
