Feyenoord extended their 6-point lead over Ajax in the Eredivisie before coming from behind in a pulsating match to claim their first win in Amsterdam in 18 years.

Arie Slot’s team took an early lead in the classic car When Quilindschy Hartman picked up Oussama Idrissi’s clever backheel and slid through a perfectly weighted pass to Santiago Gimenez beat home.

Ajax recovered quickly and equalized in the 17th minute when Steven Berghuis approached with a free-kick and Edson Alvarez headed into a corner in the 17th minute.

Eight minutes before half-time, the champions took the lead when Steven Bergwijn pared down a long pass from Berghuis and slid the ball into an oncoming Dusan Tadic pass.

“Enough games left”

Feyenoord camped in Ajax’s half at the start of the second half, and after 52 minutes Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s pass found Sebastian Szymanski lurking on the edge of the six-yard box and shoved the ball home. Their press paid off.

With neither team ready to settle for a draw, Mohammed Kuds missed a brilliant chance in front of goal with seven minutes remaining. And three minutes later, Feyenoord scored a point when David Hanko flicked a corner kick that Rutscharel Gertruida headed home.

Director Allie Slott said: “He played great football, especially in the second half.

His Ajax counterpart John Haitinga insisted his side was still in contention for the title despite having to close a six-point gap in eight games. We have enough points and we will fight until the end.”
