In what was billed as a championship decider, Ajax beat PSV 2-0 in Eindhoven on March 30 and all seemed set fair for the Dutch giants to claim their 37th Eredivisie crown.

PSV Eindhoven lead the Eredivisie by one point with just a game to go after Ajax conceded a 99th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 at Groningen. Peter Bosz's side beat Heracles Almelo 4-1.

On April 20, Ajax had the chance to extend their lead to 12 points, a surely insurmountable lead. That day, Francesco Farioli's side were hammered 4-0 by Utrecht.
