Unbelievable scenario in the Dutch championship race

On the morning of May 15, Ajax was held to a 2-2 draw by Groningen, officially losing the top spot to PSV with only 1 round left in the season.

Ajax gave the championship to their opponents.

Before round 29, Ajax led the table, 9 points ahead of PSV, many fans thought that the Eredivisie championship race this season was over. However, the unthinkable happened when the home team at Johan Cruyff Arena unexpectedly stumbled in 4 consecutive rounds, from 29 to 33 with 2 draws and 2 losses.

Disappointment reached its peak when in round 33, Ajax only had to face Groningen, a club that had run out of goals to strive for. Despite leading 2-1 until the 90+8 minute, plus the opponent had to play with one less player, Jordan Henderson and his teammates still let the home team Groningen equalize 2-2 in the 90+9 minute.

Blokzijl's goal cost Ajax the victory and officially lost the top spot to PSV. With only one point less, coach Francesco Farioli's team also lost the right to decide the championship race. In the 34th and final round of the season, Ajax must beat Twente and hope PSV stumbles against Sparta Rotterdam to be able to win the championship.

The 2024/25 Eredivisie landscape has been decided, with PSV and Ajax qualifying for the League Phase, next season's Champions League, while Feyenoord will play in the Champions League qualifying round. Utrecht will represent the Dutch league in the Europa League. Meanwhile, AZ, Twente, GA Eagles, Nijmegen and Heerenveen will be in the Conference League qualifying round.
