Top three win in Eredivisie

February 4, 2010

There were no surprises in the Dutch Eredivisie this Wednesday, as all of the top three teams won their home matches without particular difficulties.

Joint leaders PSV hosted FC Utrecht and went ahead through Ola Toivonen in the seventh minute. Sander Keller did level with six minutes to go until the break, but midfielder Orlando Engelaar went on to net the home side’s winner on the hour mark.

Utrecht goalscorer Keller was sent off with a second yellow card in the 77th minute.

Twente played a home match with fifth-placed Heracles and scored one goal in each half to beat their guests 2-0. Costa Rican Bryan Ruiz opened the scoring in minute 43, and Blaise N’Kufo doubled the advantage in the 66th.

Ajax forgot to score in the first half against Roda JC, but made up for it in the second. Luis Suarez scored two penalties, one in the 54th minute and one in the 69th, and went on to find the target again in the 79th and 86th minutes for a stunning total of four goals.

Roda played part of the second half with a man less, as Davy de Fauw collected his second yellow card in the 67th minute.
