Ajax held the lead of the Eredivisie of the Netherlands after drawing 2-2 against PSV Eindhoven, who could not take advantage of the great game of Israeli Eran Zahavi, author of the two goals that put his team ahead on the scoreboard.
Zahavi returned from an injury that separated him from the last six alignments of PSV in official matches. He returned just in time for one of the most important duels of the course and did not disappoint. However, it was not enough. Later, Ajax, with the successes of Quincy Promes and Brazilian Antony Matheus, saved the result and the first place.
But before, the Israeli striker struck first and very early, two minutes into the game after saving a heads-up against André Onana from Cameroon after a sensational spur pass from Donyell Malen.
In the midst of the dominance of the ensemble led by Roger Schmidt, Zahavi appeared again in another combination with Malen to increase his income and achieve something that no one did since 2010, when Ricky van Wolfswinkel last scored twice for Ajax in the first 21 minutes of a game. In addition, he inscribed his name in the history of his club with PSV's number 5,000 in the Dutch league.
Ajax was slow to react, but they did it in time. First, he warned with a shot to the stick of Dusan Tadic and then hit the right target before the break through Promes, who added the same against PSV, the club for which they have scored the most goals in the Eredivisie.
For Schmidt's team, it is a real torture to face Promes, who have scored in each of the five games in which they have faced PSV. He does not fail and this Sunday he again showed that he is very good at Ajax's greatest rival.
Then, Antony was in charge of drawing the tie in the last section of the clash and with his goal he managed to hold the first place of Ajax in the Eredivisie, just one point ahead of PSV, which brushed the victory and the lead.
