PSV Stunned by Telstar as Klassieker Draw Recasts Eredivisie Run-In

The setbacks suggest PSV’s coronation will come later than planned.

Overview

  • PSV’s 3-1 loss at Telstar, which came Sunday after a first-half red card for Anass Salah-Eddine, means the leaders cannot seal the title in their April 4 home game against FC Utrecht.
  • Coach Peter Bosz called the elbow to an opponent “very dumb” and said the dismissal was correct, while Salah-Eddine said the contact was accidental and the decision harsh, highlighting strain over discipline and focus.
  • De Klassieker in Rotterdam finished 1-1 after Ajax’s Sean Steur netted his first Eredivisie goal and Feyenoord equalised late, keeping the fight for second place—and Champions League access—tight.
  • Analysts reported one of Ajax’s weakest attacking displays of the season in the derby, citing the fewest shots on target and only eight touches in Feyenoord’s penalty area.
  • Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie said Dick Advocaat now advises him as a sounding board, though he stressed he retains final say on plans and selections.
